Through painting, I express the feelings that inspire me, my perceptions of this world, and the helplessness of living a life on the brink of disaster, both human and ecological. Colors symbolize hope. VY's paintings are a splash of color, a subtle but strong wave of the brush. Texture, form and atmosphere converge in her compositions to create a tenuous harmony, sometimes teetering towards chaos. Her paintings come alive unexpectedly through lines and textures, like veins, previously unseen, in the body. There is a further sense of wandering urgency to her work; she paints winding turns, patches of spirit and intensity, roaming and unsure paths that slowly circle back to suggest a finer mystery as the lines converge. Hers is a winding and ghostly road that moves, irrevocably, toward a single, unifying composition. I chose my colors, I chose my materials, but in the process of creating, something else takes over. It feels like my paintings flow forth from another, secret place.
