In this instalment of my “Parels” (Pearls) day visits, I am delighting in the work of a Russian artist, Natalia Stefanova. She has had an article written about her in a local publication (“ArtiBrak”) by Ine van den Boer given for the “ArtiBrak” publication. However it was in Dutch and Himself, my lovely husband, helped with translation of it into English for use in my blog. (we of course gained permission for all of this).
“Natalia Stefanova – phantasy rooted in Russian tradition”, “Magical animals, fantasy figures, dream worlds. That is what Natalia envisages when she sits down behind her easel in the morning totally forgetting the time. “Sometimes I stay inside the whole day”, she says with a smile. “Until I realize I still have to get some food.” Husband Bob knows it all too well.”
I too know the of loosing all track of time, of hours passing, seeming like minutes, of being so focused on my art work that food, and even sleep became irrelevant. It’s something that occurs whenever anyone is lost in the depths of concentration and work on their art, I’m one hundred per cent sure that thousands of people who have musical, art or craft passion can totally relate.
