Palette Knife Demonstration
Matiko Mamaladze’s oil paintings often depict beautiful, emotionally vivid stories, played out by characters that masterfully draw empathy from the viewer. She also paints keenly observed and richly textured still life subjects. Matiko is an internationally recognized and award-winning artist whose paintings are in collections in both Europe and the U.S. She lives and creates in Media, PA, near Philadelphia. In describing her process, she says: “I start painting right onto the canvas, without any preliminary sketching, letting the brush or a palette knife take me places. It's spontaneous, fresh and surprising, just like life itself. You can't plan it - it's all unpredictable."
