Vija Celmins

Vija Celmin Interview

An awesome interview, I could listen to Celmins talk about her artwork all the time. She's so intriqued about the simple things in life. I relate to her as being an artist, trying to mimic nature. She studies what's in from of her and tries to recreate its appearance, it can be very satisfying.....
