Undercurrents, Solo Exhibition

MWB City Tower, London, 30 June - 15 July, 2011

Undercurrents is a new series of paintings, exploring the relationships between lovers, friends and family members.

"Lack of communication between lovers leads to power-play, manipulation and pain. What interests me is the roles people then assume, their intricate psychological reactions to each other and to their troubled relationships. I’ve chosen a cold monochrome tonality to depict silence and the resulting emotional distance between two contrasting, disintegrating figures." - Paola Minekov about 'Echoes of Romance'

The Dancers Series, Solo Exhibition

The Apothecary Gallery, 33 Greyhound Road, London, W6 8NH
Dates: 6-19 June. Private View: Monday, 6 June, tel: 020 7381 5727

The Dancers Series was exhibited for the first time at the International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria. The exhibition gained critical acclaim and attracted a positive review by Prof. Dr. V. V. Vanslov, Director of the Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Art at The Russian Academy of Arts, Moscow, who stated: “Creating the illusion of movement, filled with rhythm and various emotional states, is a difficult task to achieve in a painting. Paola Minekov did just this, in a way which is both convincing and original. It is difficult to find an analogue to her work among other artists.”
