Tiarna Herczeg

Says Tiarna Herczeg of this work, "The big block is me. This painting is the darkest of my works because it is expressing the emotional condition of sensing presence. The circular forms below in this sense relate to me as repetition. An ongoing experience. Coming from below."

"The unknown within my work exists in the things I cannot fully explain. There are experiences that resist language. Dreams, feelings, encounters, and moments of recognition that remain difficult to communicate to others. Painting allows me to sit with those experiences without needing to resolve them.

"My paintings are not figurative, abstract, or portraiture in any fixed sense. They operate somewhere between these categories. They are not illustrations of memories or beliefs – they are evidence. Proof to myself that what I experience emotionally, spiritually, and intuitively is real, tangible, and alive."
