Rachel Ovadia

Mixed-media painting

When creating my work, there is rarely any planning. Materials are chosen randomly, colors and mediums are selected based on the needs of the moment. At times when I run out of materials, I start creating alternative mediums, diluting pigments, adding thinners or modeling paste, and coming up with new means depending on my state of being. It becomes total alchemy. The outcome, for the most part, is greatly satisfying and unexpected.

My mind keeps rushing, reassuring me that everything is going well. Internal cravings change without warning. Chance plays the most significant role. What appeals to me is the moment’s uniqueness and fleeting nature, where everything else ceases to exist.

The process of painting is a phenomenally mysterious practice. Following prescribed formulas, one is guided by a course of action. In my case, however, the method is entirely experimental, resourceful, and temporaneous.

Self-critical to a vast degree, I do not settle for compromise. I keep asking myself whether the work is worthy of attention, whether I have used up all of my awareness and resourcefulness; but most of all, whether it excites my senses and is not just another repetition. The expression of fluency, articulacy, and persuasiveness is what appeals to me most.
