ARTISTS

DORA FORMAS

Born in 1932 in Santiago, Chile, South America.
She is an English teacher with law studies at the University of Chile and Catholic University in Temuco.
Painting has always been her hobby and no matter she is autodidact in this art, as a student she participated in group exhibitions and competitions in Santiago and San Bernardo at that time. Subsequently, with the working tasks of a teacher, a mother, a wife and a housewife, she could hardly enrich her aesthetic vocation visiting exhibitions of renowned artists. However, it was time to paint landscapes in oil and acrylic that were mostly given to friends and family as a token of affection and friendship.

Currently, as a result of her fight against cancer, she has regained strongly this passion that has been the love of her life.

The fundamental characteristic of his style is based on light, natural light as well as symbolic light always illuminating his works. Tome Mishev creates paintings that have an unfettered optimism and faith in the enjoyment of life. The philosophy of his art can be captured in the psychological dimension of space and grace of the figures. All elements of the structure of his work, lines, light, color and space are in harmony and give a full expression. The play of colors and color shadows help to paintingto express the idea of illusion of reality.... (Ljupcho Malenkov)
