Regina Bardavid “I am motivated by the enjoyment and excitement of allowing images to appear, manipulating the material, pushing and pulling pigment across the surface of the canvas or paper. An exploration of playfulness within a discipline. It is imperative for me not to have a recognizable image but rather ambiguous, enigmatic forms. The mystery is significant of life, religion, the unknown and undecipherable. Intangible things that trigger the imagination shapes that have the presence and not the lineaments of objects.

I have been drawing inspiration from the behavior and practices of traditional South African Healers. I work from my intuition finding ways to contact the subconscious as to reach the collective unconscious. This allows me to search for something larger and more meaningful than myself. Chance and hazard are an important part of the process, pouring paint, making marks on the surface allows the painting to paint itself, until reaching the realization that no more is needed and the painting is 'finished' this being an experience that goes beyond verbal explanation, an intuitive response to the work.”
