Media: painting and collage on panel
Nina Tichava’s-Like a kiss that falls from our invincible heights is a mixed media abstract painting within Tichava’s Botanical Series. Tichava’s abstractions portray movement through time, and often refer to elements of nature, water, fire, or air. In the case of Tichava’s Like a kiss that falls from our invincible heights, she uses color indicative of the earthly realm, such as varied shades of brown.
Additionally, Nina Tichava’s abstracted dot pattern screen, evident in this painting, is a large component of her artistic statement. Tichava employs the dot pattern screen throughout her Borrowed Landscape Series--a body of work in which she places a dot screen on top of a common monument or landscape, thereby asking the viewer to consider it anew. The dot pattern screen in Tichava’s Like a kiss…composes the ghost image of a branch in this painting, prompting us to consider our own relationship with nature. Do we regard nature as a fundamental part of our human reality, or has human life become so detached from nature that we now regard it as another pixelated image we view through an electronic screen?
