Entrance to the Well
Helen Moravsky took honors in Visual Media and graduated
from American University in Washington, D.C., in 1977. She
currently lives in Winchester, VA. She writes, "The base images
[of my art} are culled from my vast and constantly growing collection
of 19th and early 20th century photographs...
The classical nature of the pieces comes from my love of classical architecture
and the old photographs I collect. I look for photos that are specifically
architectural in nature, not people shots...
As far as influences go - they are diverse... Artistically, I would say the German
Expressionists, Dadaists, Surrealists and Cubists are my primary influences...
What I create has elements of all of these, particularly the more you look
at the work. Almost all of [my art] contains visual
surprises that you may not note in the initial viewing but see when you take a
closer look."
