Charcoal drawing of a pair of hands over a dark mass of lines

Elena Peteva’s drawings and installations embody individual, social, and global states. Subject and material come together as metaphors in distilled images and forms – a box with black smoke ominously rising, hands reaching into a dark tangle of lines, a large mound of charcoal. Her work creates a uniquely charged stillness that holds both the real and the ethereal, presence and absence. The viewer is invited into a contemplative space that unfolds visually, psychologically, and emotionally. This exhibition was curated by Richard Whitten, Professor of Art at ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú.
