With bold brushstokes and an irrepressible, continual sense of movement, Tontcheva's works recall the abstract expressionist and Cobra style while intimating a deliberate conception of composition and form. Like the lifeblood of her art, a vivid scarlet color punctuates almost every one of Tontcheva's
paintings, swelling and growing, lava-like among deeper, subtler hues. Her acrylic paintings are distinctive for a rich layering of colors and great inventiveness of composition that reveal an evocative painting force.
