ABOUT
Art has always been an integral part of my life as I grew up surrounded by it. Both sides of my family are artists; the weavers were on my mother’s side. On my father’s side, the painters. As a little girl, I remember expressing myself through painting and embroidery. I have always been passionate about my art and can’t imagine myself not creating. Being an artist is who I am.
My work is intuitive and most of my inspiration comes from my life journeys, how the world outside affects my inner world. It is the emotion and unconscious collaboration of dreams and visions of where I am in my life at that moment.
ABUNDANCE SERIES
Recently, I stumbled upon an inspirational figure. I have many.
This person teaches that if we feel happy and have positive thoughts, we are able to manifest the same in the physical world. It was like an epiphany for me because this is the way I have always felt, especially when I’m painting. I would be transported into a different world, in a safe world of my own with no fears or troubles, where everything was beautiful and perfect.
I was so inspired by the fact that this person's beliefs and teachings came so close to my own nature and beliefs, that I created and I’m still working on a new series of paintings that I’ve titled “The Abundance Series”
As I work on these paintings, I find myself in perfect alignment with my inner being. I have feelings of pure joy, exhilaration, and clarity of mind.
I work on the background with acrylics in a more spontaneous way, a more playful and carefree mind, letting my subconscious take over. I can feel my heart beating fast. I feel a rush as I spray and splatter on the canvas. My hand just takes over. I don’t even feel it’s actually me painting at this stage.
When this is dry, the dots and “eyes” take over.
It’s almost like the calm after the storm! I think this describes the series the best.
They come out from the deepest part of my soul or inner being. I am in a deep meditative state. The energy just flows all over the canvas.
