ARTIST’S STATEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Although I derive inspiration from various sources \u00e2\u20ac\u201ce.g., music, nature, the human condition -I try to find the balance between mind and spirit. My goal is to involve viewers in a creative game where both the mind and the heart are stimulated.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Her work offers a rich cross section of our century\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spiritual and stylistic movement. Her work is part of that artistic movement which express in a contemporary manner the sensitivity, the mentality, and cultural needs of modern man facing the turn of the millennium.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 She has the courage to use the visual tools and forms to say many things in many different ways.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“She is primarily interested in clashing emotions, in opposites. While living in and surrounded  <\/span>by a society of material worship, her studio in Southern<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

California stands as a shelter for an idealistic revolution where Dobay ventures into exploring the duality of existence: matter and soul.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The monumental yet sensitively refined forms give a unique floating sensation to the work, which reflects simultaneously the  <\/span>link between artistic tradition and individual trademark of the artist.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
