Maya Kulenovic Portrait Paintings
Bosnian, b. 1975
Maya Kulenovic (1975 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina) lives and works in
Toronto Canada.
Maya Kulenovic's artistic development, as a painter working with
representational imagery, has followed a path echoing that of art history:
as it has shaped its own story and seen its potentials redefined.
Her inspirations range from Rembrandt to 19th century daguerreotype
photography, images from damaged motion pictures, Greek sculptures, Roman
death masks, ancient Middle Eastern architecture, early American
documentary photography and film, East Asian ink paintings, Leonardo’s
drawings, Goya's prints, Turner's skies, the photographs of Eugène Atget
and Margaret Bourke-White, and 20th Century painters Francis Bacon, Lucian
Freud, Paula Rego, and Marlene Dumas.
From these she has forged a unique repertoire described as 'unlike the work
of any other artist of her generation.'
