Nava Mentkow Biography | Portfolio
painting allows me to find details and reflective color that upon first glance might otherwise be overlooked by the naked eye. Working primarily with palette knives, I mold and shape the textures of the world around us onto an otherwise flat surface, provoking the viewer to want to reach out and touch the surface of the painting. The tactility of the paint is a major element in my work. The surface quality of my work brings movement and intensity to my subjects. For example, a delicate branch with blossoms becomes a powerful and striking force in my painting demanding the viewer’s attention. Such is the goal in all my work, to relate the greatness of simple structures one may see everyday within the scenery of the natural world." Nava recently moved to South Florida from Philadelphia, PA and she is a recent graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts as well as the University of Pennsylvania. |
