About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

My name is Ekaterina Andreeva. I am a miniaturist painter based in Kyrgyzstan.

The Middle Ages were always a source of neverending inspiration for me. The history of medieval art, architecture and especially manuscripts are the fields of my thorough study and extraneous research. I pay special attention to the symbolic language that is intertwined with medieval art — Christian symbols, heraldics, hellinistic cultural symbols, Scandinavian runes, links with astronomy and Zodiac signs.

My work is inspired by the Duke of Berry's Book of Hours, church books, Renaissance choral and scholarly manuscripts. I can spend hours looking at the curves of the ornaments, the shimmering gold, the fantastic flowers, the mysterious creatures, and, of course, the initials that open the chapters. Reimagining this beauty lays at the basis of my work.

My drop caps sound particularly unusual framed in a customized handmade mat made in the ancient French technique called Lavis which I had studied under the guidance of Alexandra Spassky, a French artisan. Personalization is an emerging trend in contemporary art. We all want to be unique!

I think there’s nothing that brings a greater sense of belonging than the letters you’ve known for your whole life — the letters of your name. That, coupled with the fact that every letter is embellished with hand painted gold pigment means these prints and decorations are really personal. And really unique to you. No two are the same!
