Emilia Dubicki, a New Haven based abstract painter, has been painting since her childhood growing up in Bozrah, CT. Nature often servers as a starting point from her work that then traverses the imagery and structures of external landscapes—rocks, piers, water, ski, shadows, light—fused with journeys into a more internal landscape of the spirit.

The resulting paintings are made in the studio: compilations of memories, emotions and visuals interpreted, felt, and expressed in the moment of painting.

Artist Statement

My work is inspired by nature and abstraction in the environment, and the outer world serves as a metaphor for an internal landscape. Capturing the essence of place: moods, moments, colors, light and structures and transcending beyond these elements is what my art is about. There’s a blur between the visual world and the personal world of mind and spirit – what can be seen joining with what is felt and imagined. The natural world is not in my control, but I want to catch incarnations of it in the work, capture momentary glimpses of the impulses they inspire before everything changes again. I work the idea, image and colors until I’ve exhausted it in the mind and heart.
