In her canvases are visible meditative techniques, at which the concentration of analysis and synthesis of "an object" puts in according to calligraphic rule between one inhalation and one breathing out. The details and the whole demonstrate a new kind of relation between cause and result. "I have my own causality- says Elitsa – the objectivity is a kind of “plurality" of the perceptions and I am searching the unique in correlation. The intuition is irreplaceable, it is "lightning" of the cognitive process, in which "the thing" uncovers itself to you with a trustful feeling that you know it very well and very long time ago".
The concentration and disentangling of the instantaneous, running fluids and the mutually replacement of cause-result tempts her to make them in cascade of posibilities, unexpected for the „majority", clinging to objectivistic look. For her the color hasn`t distinct meaning except in touch with other. The polyvalent connections of the color setting in the space (the additive blending) make possible every repeated look over the canvas to be unexpected.
Еlitsa reaches over two of the typical characteristics of the modernizing bulgarian painting – the cold distance from object and the fragmet care-free, united in mental(conceptual) construction. The exhibition "Polyphonic" gives hope for break in the walls of this steady stronghold and at the least will stirre the leyers disturb of the popular Bulgarian painting when the red lamp flashes – with the stereotyped manner of foresight is already done.

I am not a storyteller contrary to expectations to an illustrator. I am defining myself as an experimental artist with respectful attitude to the classical practices. I feel inspired from German expressionism; I am also tempted from the perceptions of artists like Yves Klein and the Fluxus idea. I am studying the nature with eyes “never stop wondering”; enjoying the turbolence on the transforming of the visibilities to more expressive image and then to abstraction. Elitsa Baramova
The colors are falling apart spectral, bringing together in chords, aspiring in courageous movement; then are dominant plane again, setting against by contrasts and forming horizons. The fragment details invite the viewer joint to the picture, entering in it`s hidden premeditated spaces. Pastel veils take away the object and stimulate the searching eye. Carl-Udo Bigot
