My studio practice offers both structure and release. approaching painting as both a receptive and generative process. Through intuitive layering, I explore ideas that emerge from conscious intention as well as instinct.

 

Blending organic and mythic forms, my work draws from nature as a source of clarity and restoration. The paintings navigate the space between struggle and fantasy; the imagery may appear soft, but it has teeth. Each piece evolves through cycles of addition and reduction, balancing spontaneous mark-making with deliberate color choices until a sense of resolution emerges. The finished work is inseparable from the process that uncovers it, with both carrying equal importance in the evolution of the piece.

 

BIO

Self taught, and in her third decade as an artist, Amy Spassov’s process has developed over the years through an exploration of different themes and mediums with a deep fascination and connection to the natural world.  Spassov works in layers using numerous tools, paint and collage as a means to assemble then deduct what is relevant. This ebb and flow allows the artist to unearth the premise of each body of work.  Through these many iterations she has captured a loyal collector base. 

 

Born in 1980, Spassov currently works out of her studio in Seattle, Washington, and has exhibited across the United States and internationally.  Over the last decade she has worked on a number of corporate and private commissions and has been represented in prominent national art fairs. The artists’s work has been recognized in national publications such as, Create Magazine, SLICE as well as the international publication ArtMaze Magazine. The artist’s work has also been featured in online publications such as Creative Boom, The Jealous Curator, Beautiful Bizarre and Hi-Fructose.
