DEBUSSY: The Sunken Cathedral 

This work, *DEBUSSY: The Sunken Cathedral*, was made by Maria Bozoky using watercolor and ink. Both materials have a rich history, with watercolor used for centuries for both artistic and practical purposes, like mapping and botanical illustration, while ink has been essential for writing and drawing across cultures. In this piece, the fluidity of watercolor creates a sense of ethereal depth, while the crisp lines of ink add definition and movement. Bozoky's choice of materials infuses her artwork with a sense of layered depth. You can observe the textural interplay between the layered washes of blues and the graphic lines of the ink. This highlights Bozoky's skilled manipulation of these materials, coaxing them to evoke the sensation of a submerged, dreamlike space. By focusing on Bozoky's materials and methods, we can appreciate how her work transcends traditional boundaries, uniting the poetic qualities of fine art with the direct, expressive potential of more traditional mediums.
