Art Commentary

Claudia Moscovici is a cofounder of postromanticism.com and art critic (Romanticism and Postromanticism, Lexington Books, 2007)

Paola Minekov’s paintings seem made for a Kafka novel. Angular yet fluid in form and deeply psychological, they combine several modern styles - including cubism, aspects of postimpressionism, and expressionism - to offer, quite literally, a multiple perspective upon various themes important to our contemporary lives: (mis)communication and love (the Undercurrents Series); movement and elegance (The Dancers Series); mood and expression (The Circus Series), Cityscapes (that captures not only cities, but also entire ethnicities and cultures). 

If you have an appreciation for modernist literature and art, you will very much enjoy Paola Minekov’s multifaceted paintings.
