Oil on paper.

Spielman uses oil paint on canvas, paper and panel in various sizes; she works on up to forty paintings at a time, moving between them as each begins to form, then isolating a work to bring to completion. 

Her saturated surfaces are luminous, with alternate glossy and matte layers, but also bear rough nail marks that scar and deconstruct the work.  These etched lines and marks relate to an image and idea, and are often the underlying structure, the submerged language of a work.

Like the small abstracted bunnies ("Lapin" in French), etched and somewhat hidden in the red paint of this pop coloured painting.
