Stella Canfield - USA
Stella Canfield's art is known for its deep emotional content, the dynamic of the brush stroke and vivacious colors. She creates intuitively and spontaneously in a relaxed, natural way of expressing her individual emotional response to the subject or scene she paints. Her work is charged with the energy of her own life, her passion for people and nature.
The inspiration for Stella’s art comes from her appreciation of beauty and her positive view of the world.Stella prefers to introduce symbols, giving the viewers the opportunity to visualize the details. This way she strives to emotionally involve them as partners, to give them a feeling of the ownership of the painting. She believes that art is a way of spiritual communication.
Stella was born in Varna, Bulgaria and graduated from the Academy of Sports in Sofia. In 1980 she left illegally her country to escape the oppressive communistic regime. She lived for five years in Germany and moved to the USA in 1985. For the last few years she divides their time between Bulgaria and California, USA.
