Artist statement
Vitali is a collector. Her art begins with gathering objects, images, and human experiences.
Themes include handwriting, circles/ovals, chaos vs. stability, intentional and unintentional collections, loss, memory, meditation, spirituality, and the human condition.
From her collections she extracts positive and negative shapes to create paintings, prints, and collages.
Colorful or monochromatic, her organic shapes and mark-making are emphasized.
Concepts as well as physical objects are used to generate work that is focused on formulating a visual meditation.
