How do emotions transfer from the analogue to the digital world? Does the TRANSpotency of matter manage not to lose its charge when transferring from one level to the other? Will the message be compressed/ transformed/ deformed? Boriana Pertchinska visualizes this transfer process in her diptychs - the integrity of psyche and function/ mechanism and their conflict. She uses classical painting techniques as a starting point for her experiments, bestowing permanence and depth to postmodern reality. She applies layers of pigment, tempera and acrylic paint to jute with a chalk ground and finds the effect of “symbolic patina”: traces of past forms of expression, preserved in the contemporary object.
