"All Things Considered" My paintings are about some sort of struggle with the issues of the spirit, of mortality and direction. I contemplate all these things and the landscape is the natural place to contemplate them. It is a very personal and tangible and is based on my own personal perception and experience. My intention is to paint landscapes that evoke a universal familiarity. Memory is my creative domain. I carry my landscapes around with me. "Everything, means something" as I am in the autumn of my career. I remind myself that, "I didn't come this far to come this far" I am aware that I never really finish a painting, but at some point I have to separate from it. Each painting offers an infinite range of possibilities to explore. I settle for a sense there is more to be seen.   I present this new work and invite you to stand in my landscapes and to begin your exploration. Irma Soltonovich July 2022
