About this artwork
I created the first Dancer painting in 2012. It was smaller and the format was square. The painting was about to be published in a number of magazines and a book in 2016 so I was faced with the challenge to recreate it in a size/format that was suitable for these publications. I ended up with a better (I think) piece than the first one.
The painting technique I've used here resembles the Flemish method of layering thin veneers of paint between layers… of varnish. I start with pencils, pastels, and varnish. After that, I paint a lighter layer with acrylics and finish with a couple of thicker layers using a combination of mediums, often acrylics and oils, but sometimes gold leaf and inks.

« As a child, I was taught to question one-dimensional narratives which grew from a survival technique to a technology of the artistic self. The Ecology of Talent is what matters. »
Iva Troj has won several awards for her paintings and has exhibited in the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States. Troj's creative expression is influenced by her grandmother who told her that beauty is 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. This dichotomy is present in everything that she does. While there is violence, greed, and mediocrity, there is also beauty. Her painting techniques are akin to the Flemish, layering thin veneers of paint between layers of varnish.
