About Artwork
It takes place against the backdrop of a calm sea. There is always somebody coming into the field of view ... There is no wind at all. Serenity, or is it just a trick?
The objects on the beaches keep making me question the calm and so it becomes intertwined with tension. I try to document these objects and they keep reappearing within the beach landscape. Nothing moves until the horizon line, except for a few ephemeral objects.
When searching for motifs for my paintings I try to compare in my mind the objects I have seen with other objects, surroundings and events. In this way, the paintings create places that cannot be visited, since their precise location is impossible to determine. A new space is created that does not exist in reality. People passing by and objects become part of a cultural, rather than natural, landscape.

Felicija Dudoit’s paintings often depict empty, open spaces, pervaded by both gentle melancholy and a sense of tension, casting doubts on the reality of the moment. When searching for motifs for her paintings she mentally juxtapose the objects seen with other objects, surroundings and events. In this way, places are created in the paintings that cannot be visited, since their precise location becomes impossible to determine. A new space is created that does not exist in reality. People passing by and objects become part of a cultural, not of a natural, landscape.
