Artist Biography
Letven is interested in similarities in the range of natural patterns and forms. She explores a personal language of abstraction that universally implies the mechanism of space and time and the fabric of the universe. Many of her works are created from her abstract interpretations of landscapes and natural phenomena, such as motion, resonance, rhythm and harmony. She also absorbs inspiration from other fields, including music, poetry, science and philosophy to build up an aesthetic synaesthesia shared among these different disciplines. She juxtaposes the geometric with the organic, symmetry and asymmetry, and lyricism, seeking to translate and communicate something of the sheer excitement and energy she perceives. She always combines unrelated lines, shapes and symbols to pursue a deeper level of harmony from seemingly disparate visual entities, with a strong belief in an omnipresent, deeper order of life rather than randomness.
