Sevilla: Golden Altar 

Maria Bozoky's "Sevilla: Golden Altar" captures a moment in time with watercolor and ink. The layering of washes creates a sense of depth, while the loose ink lines add spontaneity. Consider how Bozoky's choice of medium influences the artwork’s atmospheric and emotional qualities. She seems to have allowed the water to freely move the pigment around the paper, embracing the unpredictable nature of the medium. In doing so, Bozoky may be referencing the sacred status of the altar within a church. She seems to have made an artistic choice not to directly represent what a viewer might expect, but rather offer her own interpretation. By combining traditional art materials with a focus on process and materiality, Bozoky blurs the lines between fine art and craft. What might otherwise have been considered a sketch becomes a powerful and expressive statement about the sacred.
