Art Project Depot - 5 questions - Kalina Dimitrova
What are the most essential components of your artistic practice?

The experiment, breaking the comfort zone and keeping the curiosity. This is how my most interesting projects are born.

How do you interact with space when creating a project?

I obey the space. The project has to fit into it and become an organic part of it in order to have the greatest impact.

What is the role of text in developing images?

The text is rather an inspiration, a starting point on which the construction of images begins.

What reaction do you attempt to provoke in your audience through your work?

Mostly emotional. For me, a work of art should have an impact exactly through its image (if we are talking about visual arts). I would like this image to touch the viewer's inner world and to influence their imagination making important constructive connections. The work separated from the artist begins to live other lives through the eyes and mind of the viewers.

What is the role of the research approach in contemporary art?

The research approach occupies an important place in contemporary art. Regardless of the form of the work, preliminary research brings the necessary depth, comprehensiveness and persuasiveness that win the viewer's trust.
