About the art of Livia Pápay
My interest goes beyond mere representation it reflects my "fascination with light, shadow, forms, structures, and compositions". Through artistic exploration of the subject and my imagination, I create "still lifes on canvas" that convey both a "serious pursuit of a well-balanced composition" and a "playful transformation of what I discover".
I enjoy exploring the boundaries between "abstract, figurative, and representational art" The fact that my paintings are often perceived as "powerful expressions of color and form" is feedback that I truly appreciate.
