In the general artistic presence of Rousse painters the works of Violeta Radkova are staying clear of the ambition for imposing one's own views, the desire for radical affiliation with the demands of modern times. She remains deeply absorbed in her own intimate space and attracts the attention of the audience not by declaring but by whispering her half- expressed truths. It is this type of painting saturated with premonitions, hidden pas- sion, emotions and artistic expression that reveals unexpected horizons in the privacy of our own world and we accept it as a modest and truthful confession.

The artist's pictures are peopled with mysterious signs, sunbeams or moonbeams cut- ting across the darkness to expose some little earthly miracle lilce a mirror, a flower, an apple. The worlds of Violeta Radlcova are intended for a special category of people - the people in love. Because if you are not in love you can hardly have your heart pierced by those magic reflections and your eyes dazzled by the springing radiance of her pictures and you will carry on for a long time in your heart that reckless tenderness , so generously poured into each picture by their creator.
