Statement
I paints realistic female portraits connected to nature in 7 different stages, in 7 different layers, with 7 different materials, in order to get 7 different faces of the same woman. I paints them with ink, tea, red wine, gold leaves, pencil, posca pen, alcohol and rainwater.
Reflecting on life, I wants to convey the feeling of freedom and the joy of creation, passionately expressing emotions and love for nature, combining painting and drawing elements and techniques in one painting.
I am inspired by life and the process of creation, and by exploring the unconscious in us and its manifestation on the surface.
Reflecting on my inner state, I paints symbolic scenes using elements from Sacred Geometry and looking for answers to my questions.
Through paintings and drawing I am talking about the materialized form of my emotions and my iner world and through symbolism talking about life and personal fears and my own transformation through the painting.
I am helping people to fill their space with wonderful creative energy and immerse themselves in the world of creative artistic magic.
