“Color is a power which directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky
“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” – Oscar Wilde
“Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.” – Paul Klee

The art of Militza Georgevich attempts to unite the physical with the metaphysical world. Inspired by both natural forms and constructed remnants of our environment, form, space and color animate each collage. These works have a palpable reality and perhaps evoke dream states of other possible universes.
These intriguing abstract and figurative collages are not simple, but form consistent environments infused with luscious color structures which appeal to our minds as well as our emotions. There are several themes in her works which refer to fusions of earth & sky, interior & exterior landscapes, inanimate with biological and biomorphic structures, and materiality with ethereal forms.
Her artwork is finely crafted and is quite unique with echoes of surrealism in its quest for a higher reality.
