Since childhood, I have been passionate about painting. Starting in the 1990s, oil painting became my medium of choice, and occasionally I have worked with acrylics as well.
My sources of inspiration are diverse. Often, a concept takes center stage, which I try to translate into vivid images — striking memories, a journey that transported me into another world...
But sometimes, nothing asserts itself, and I allow myself to be guided by the process, as if the painting itself takes control.

But why paint?
For me, painting is about embarking on a new adventure each time, leaving behind a trace of the psyche by giving it form on the canvas.
A painting without a viewer is a sterile work. Painting is always addressed to another. The painted canvas becomes a mirror space — both for the painter and for the one who observes it.
Two imaginary worlds intertwine in a single moment.

What fuels creation is the dissatisfaction of having missed the essence.
This frustration pushes me to try again — to shape what keeps slipping away, by returning to the work.

How did my artistic journey begin?

Professionally, I come from the finance and controlling sector. Numbers were my world—and I loved them!
At the same time, I was looking for a balance. I have always been creative and skilled with my hands, which led me to painting. It completely captivated me and continues to inspire me through various techniques.
For 15 years, I enjoyed continuous training with academic artists.
Because I wanted to find a contrast to the precision required in my profession, abstract painting became my preferred direction.
By chance, I discovered the acrylic pouring technique, and I was fascinated by it right away.
Now, I have been a passionate self-taught artist in this technique for five years.
I have also increasingly worked with mixed media in recent months, after attending several workshops.

Where do you find inspiration?

Mostly in nature. It offers us so many possibilities, wonderful moments, and an astonishing world of colors.
I don’t see nature as an object but as shapes, colors, and textures. Whether it’s a water surface, rocks, or a forest — I process these impressions in my abstract compositions.


---

Which techniques do you use?

I’m a passionate artist with a focus on acrylic pouring techniques, combined with resin finishing and mixed media.
In my work, I merge fluid acrylic techniques with the depth and shine of resin, sometimes incorporating additional materials such as paper, texture pastes, and stencils.


---

Do you follow a process or work instinctively?

Instinctively. Once the colors are on the canvas using acrylic pouring, I can gently guide them in a certain direction by feel.
Otherwise, the colors find their own path, forming patterns and shapes — without a brush, without a fixed form, without a set plan.


---

What message do you want to share through your art?

What may seem like chaos and disorder at first glance is the result of observation and letting go.
Colors meet, repel, or connect — almost like in a conversation.
Each work is open to interpretation and yet full of personal stories.

Where this artistic path will take me... I don't know, and that's the beauty of an endless journey of self-discovery...

1.    How did your artistic career begin?

A few years ago, this newfound passion surprised me, moved and completely changed my life. One day I simply felt a strong and deep "call" of paint and canvas and the urge to start painting. This experience was like an awakening, a moment where my soul recognized my true purpose, which resonated deeply within me.  The door opened to an amazing world where I could communicate with my deepest thoughts and feelings and express them through vivid colours, forms and symbols.

2.     Where do you find inspiration?

With each brushstroke I began to explore the interplay of light and shadow, movement and stillness, using mostly acrylic paints.

3.     What techniques do you prefer to use?

I experimented with different techniques, letting the paint flow freely across the canvas, creating organic patterns that reflected my own emotional journey. Each new painting was and is a new adventure, a journey deep within that allows me to feel and listen to the voice of intuition that guides me through the creative process.



4.     Do you follow a process or do you work instinctively?

The painting process for me is a kind of channelling. I allow the energy to flow through me without trying to control anything.



5.     What message do you want to convey with your art?

During my artistic journey, I have found that my experience as a healer and life coach has shaped my artistic perspective. Each of the paintings not only resonates with personal emotions, but also connects with universal themes of healing, transformation, and self-discovery. Each painting has become a meditative visual space, inviting to stop, reflect and connect everyone with their own experiences and feelings. It serves as a mirror that allows each person to perceive reflections and symbols of what they need to see within themselves, if they are willing to look. Art - a language without words, a bridge that crosses borders and speaks to the heart. I am grateful for the journey that has brought me here and excited to share my art with others, inspire and encourage everyone to discover their own unique creative paths.

6.     What are your aspirations and future dreams as an artist?

Where this artistic path will take me... I don't know, and that's the beauty of an endless journey of self-discovery..."

1. How did your artistic journey begin?

I discovered my passion for painting early in life. Encouraged by a teacher at school, I created one of my first murals as a teenager—and it still exists today. Later on, I studied graphic design to deepen my creative interest and refine my skills. Since then, art has remained a constant companion alongside my work as a nurse—a way to stay grounded and connected to myself.



2. Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration often strikes in everyday life—through nature, colors in shop windows, passing thoughts, or flipping through artist magazines. Sometimes I simply see something and feel it, and that becomes the starting point for a new piece.



3. What techniques do you use?

I mostly work with acrylic on canvas. I also enjoy using texture paste, collage elements, and sometimes objects from nature or daily life—like shells, wood, or stones. Occasionally, I work in watercolor as well.



4. Do you follow a process or work by instinct?

I paint entirely by instinct. I believe that not following a strict process leaves room for surprises and growth. Even when something doesn’t turn out as planned, it helps me evolve artistically and not get stuck.



5. What message do you want to share through your art?

Simply: joy. I want people to take a moment, step away from everyday stress, and perhaps discover something personal in the painting—something uplifting or thought-provoking.



6. What are your future dreams as an artist?

I hope to continue creating meaningful work that speaks to people. My greatest dream is to one day live fully through my art—perhaps with the support of a gallery that believes in me and helps me grow in that direction.

1. How did your artistic journey begin? My artistic journey began with an inner urge to express emotions - freely, using color and intuition. As a balance to my analytical work with numbers, painting became my creative space – a way to reconnect with myself. Self-taught and deeply connected to my work, I approach each canvas with curiosity and openness, allowing the process to guide me rather than following a f ixed plan. 

2. Where do you find inspiration? I often find inspiration in contrast—between structure and chaos, clarity and emotion. Moods, music, and spontaneous color combinations spark ideas, along with impressions from everyday life, lived experience, and the natural world. 

3. What techniques do you use? I mainly use acrylics, palette knives, and diAerent texture mediums. Through layering, scraping, and experimentation, I create surfaces that feel dynamic and full of energy. 

4. Do you follow a process or work by instinct? I work entirely by instinct—with no fixed plan, just openness to whatever unfolds in the moment. Each brushstroke and palette knife mark follows the rhythm of the last. My paintings are spontaneous reflections of inner landscapes – dynamic, vibrant, and always evolving.

 5. What message do you want to share through your art? My art creates space for emotion, depth, and open interpretation—beyond words. It invites viewers to find something of themselves in the unknown. I believe that art connects us, beyond categories or expectations. There is no right or wrong in painting—only what we feel and express. Letting go of labels allows space for freedom and genuine connection.

 6. What are your future dreams as an artist? I hope to share my work with a wider audience—both online and in physical spaces—and to keep growing through meaningful exchange. Someday, I would love to create limited editions or curated collections or even present my work in a small exhibition. 

Q1 – How did your artistic journey begin?
I have always been artistically inclined since childhood:  music, writing, drawing, sketching, photography -- nature, architecture, travel. My present creative journey was borne from a remarkable turning point that happened one specific summer day in 2013 where I, city-bred all my life yet with strong affinity for wild country, found myself simply, utterly delighted and in awe of what to me appears to be boundless pristine nature so easily accessible throughout Oregon.
That summer afternoon, we were hiking through Latgawa tribal land; cold streams running downhill here and there from a waterfall and pond above. On reaching home that same evening, I could hardly wait to see the afternoon’s harvest in my camera. I was totally unprepared for the never-seen-before strange multidimensional images arrayed in what should have been typical images of ponds, light-splashed puddles and streams.
From that day since, whether I am looking through my camera lens or with my naked eyes, either pointedly or briefly unintentionally, I somehow see beyond surface 3D physical reality; often, specifically at what appears to be negative spaces, lit or in shadows. And, for 2-3 years thereafter, I was held in total bewilderment as unknown, unrepeatable imagery seemingly flows from non-object  (or out of thin air) when I focus my awareness at moments of imagery creation.  My constant questions then: ‘Is this objective reality?  Or, totally subjective?  Could someone else using my --or any—camera produce or reproduce my imagery?  

The clue came to light, literally and figuratively, when continuing to dig for possible explanations and anecdotal reports about experiences similar (to the phenomenon I am encountering), I came upon the science of quantum field/mechanics/entanglement, the observer factor… Specifically, viewed from within the context of my creative practice and process, I learned and deeply understood how in the sub-atomic level everything and nothing exists as a set reality. Indeed, instead, there only and always is frequency, vibration, energy …therefore, always the potential of becoming.

Seen through the lens of my eyes (the embodied consciousness) mindfully observing movements of natural light dancing in aetheric-filled spaces, the ‘ALL THAT IS’ begins to assemble and re-assemble into infinite possibilities; multidimensional frequencies, energies, wavelengths harnessed in split-seconds into momentary ephemeral existence. Literally ‘out of thin air’, integrating one’s in-the-moment personal consciousness in serendipitous dialogue with the ever-present collective.
        
       

Q2. Where do you find inspiration?  

Fundamentally and conceptually, my creative mission is my deep-seated inspiration.  While the debate continues as a trendy scientific perspective of ambivalence or outright negation of its role, I am driven
and exhilarated to mindfully and intuitively co-create with natural Light and unseen frequencies and energies that suffuse the Aether. In the presence  of undeniable empirical personal experience, I seek to prove more to myself than to anyone else that consciousness, observation, intentionality play a critical and powerful role in the creation of our reality. Does spirituality explain science?  Should humanity refocus its attention and energy less on science and open up to greater awareness and discussion about metaphysics?



Q3. What techniques do you use?  
Q4. Do you follow a process or work by instinct?

    These are both simple and complex questions with paradoxical answers.   

    Technically, in its simplest form, I only use the built-in digital camera in my iPhone of given moment.
    However, with this as my creative tool, conceptually, my goal is deliberately to not photograph in the
    conventional sense of the word.  That is, I do not use this camera to simply ‘capture preexisting
    objects, people, places per se’.  Rather, my creative intention is to create and express previously
    non-existent visual images and ideas by using my sheer observation, attention and focus as I follow
    organic and dynamic movements of natural light on surfaces and negative spaces. I like to push, blur,
    and bridge the edges between painting and photography, both in character and impression.

    Aesthetically, the resulting visual expression is contemporary – abstract or abstract expressionism – a
   crossover lens-based original, ephemeral unrepeatable imagery that exists only in a split-second digital
   format.  Even more deliberately, once I’ve created this imagery, it remains technically untouched: no
   manipulation whatsoever; I neither add strokes, artifacts, filters nor remove any digitally, post-creation.


Q5. What messages do you want to share through your art?  

Essentially, through my work and process over the past decade since the breakthrough I experienced
one summer day in 2013, I continue to be driven by an intense desire to encourage a greater awareness and consciousness for the presence and power of multidimensional energies that exist and surround the apparent hard-edged fast-paced 3D physical reality of the world we live in.  Further that, if we give a moment’s pause to slow down, we can get glimpses of energetic breakthroughs beyond these vastly pregnant negative spaces; that there is only frequency; and, being frequency, just as I co-create with energies in the Aether, we all are living co-creators of reality each and every moment of our earthly life.  And with this awareness, we individually and collectively can change predictive social engineering and programming.  Art, in more ways than we know but feel, is powerfully transformative.

Q5. What are your future dreams as an artist?  

I am excited about exploring how my creative process would interact with frequencies and energies in ancient lands, in different corners of our world. What intuitively centered boldly provocative imagery can I co-create and share?  Likewise, ever since I learned about the scientific definitions and characterization of quantum phenomenon almost 10 years ago to date, I’ve dreamed of collaborating with quantum physicists. Perhaps, through open collaboration together, there could be transformative breakthroughs --  e.g., more integration : between art and science, beyond today’s perceived separateness (by design) between science and spirituality, a deeper, wiser understanding about the true nature of reality, the power of consciousness over mere matter?

• How did your artistic career begin?
Because my mother is an artist, I was exposed to various art forms at an early age. I would describe myself as a creative person and have always expressed that in various ways. At some point, I went out, got paints and canvases, and started painting. It was like a liberation. Healing, calming, and at the same time energizing.

• Where do you find inspiration?
Everywhere around me. Especially when I see certain colors or color combinations, I feel a tingling sensation inside me and the anticipation of putting those colors on a canvas.

• What techniques do you use?
I paint with acrylic paints, oil pastels, chalk pencils... Whether just with my fingers, brushes, spatulas, or other materials that come to hand - anything is possible. Sometimes I create flowing pictures where I work with a lot of water, other times I need strong, pasty colors.

• Do you follow a process or do you work instinctively?
I mostly work instinctively.

• What message do you want to convey with your art?
It's more of a feeling I want to convey to the viewer of my paintings.

• What are your future dreams as an artist?
I want to reach many people with my art and make them happy.

1. Tell us how it all began and how you came to abstract painting.



For me, it all began with a great passion for art and creativity. From a young age, I was fascinated by colors, shapes, and possibilities of expression. During my artistic development, I became increasingly interested in abstract painting because it gives me the freedom to express feelings and thoughts in my own unique way, without being tied to specific forms.

The path to abstract painting was an exciting process of discovery and experimentation for me. I tried many things, testing different techniques and materials to find my own style. For me, abstract painting is a way to visualize emotions and inner worlds and to take the viewer on a personal journey. It is an art form that is constantly evolving and continually gives me new inspiration.



2. What are the predominant/dominant colors in your palette?



I like to experiment with different color combinations to achieve the desired mood and expressiveness. For me, colors are a key element for visually conveying emotions and thoughts. I love using colors to add accents and bring energy to my work. I also find black and white tones fascinating for creating a calm and contemplative atmosphere.



3. What can you tell us about your painting technique and creative composition? Are there any techniques or formats you prefer?



I primarily work with acrylic paints because they dry quickly and are versatile. My technique is often experimental: I use layers to create depth and play with different textures, pouring ash or gluing paper, jute, and sari fabrics onto canvases. I also use palette knives or other tools, for example. I place great value on spontaneous, intuitive decisions to capture the emotions and energy in my works. My preferred formats are usually larger canvases because they offer me plenty of room for expression, but I also enjoy working on smaller surfaces, e.g., upcycling record sleeves to emphasize details and subtleties. Overall, it's important to me that my technique reflects creative freedom and that the composition appears harmonious and expressive.



4. Have you always wanted to pursue this career?



My passion for making art professionally has developed over time. Over the years, I've discovered how much I enjoy creating and how wonderful it is to capture my feelings and thoughts on canvas. For me, it's a wonderful way to express myself and live my passion. I hope that buyers enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy painting it.



5. What is your source of inspiration?/What motivates you to create?



My source of inspiration is the world around me – nature, people, colors, and the emotions that move me. What motivates me to paint is the joy of creative expression and the opportunity to bring my thoughts and emotions to canvas. For me, painting is about constant change, the flow of time, and sharing and showing my view of the world with others.



6. In general, what impression do you want to create in the viewer of your images?



I want to leave an impression of emotion, depth, and inspiration when viewing my images. My goal is to create a connection that inspires thought and perhaps even joy or contemplation. I hope my works touch the viewer and invite them to see the world from a new perspective.

• ¿Cómo comenzó tu trayectoria artística?
Comencé desde niña a pintar.

• ¿Dónde encuentras inspiración para tus obras abstractas?
Encuentro mi inspiración en mis estados de ánimo y vivencias personales.

• ¿Qué técnicas prefieres utilizar?
Tecnica mixta. Gran variedad de materiales.

• ¿Sigues un proceso estructurado o te dejas guiar por tu instinto?
Me dejo guiar. 

• How did your artistic journey begin?

There was a period when I drew rather badly, but I terrorized Paint a lot in an altered state of consciousness, there was a pixel riot of colors, shapes and faces, and one day a close person said to me: "Hey, slow down with your madness, draw me something cute, for example a flower." I then really drew flowers for quite a long time, and to this day botanical motifs are one of the main dominant ones in my works

• Where do you find inspiration?

I'm inspired by patterns and swirls on everyday objects that accidentally caught my attention, everything that grows and blooms, earth, stones, alchemical engravings, dreams and media art.

• What techniques do you use?

Over time, I moved away from the chaotic, disordered heap of colors to monochrome, so my main drawing tool today is liners. Sometimes I like to decorate my drawings with various decorative elements given by nature, such as dried flowers, leaves and twigs, and from time to time I resort to paints when painting. Recently, I have become especially fond of tempera, it is an incredibly gentle and delicate thing, is not for nothing that it is the material of icon painters. For the "Shades of Purple" exhibition, I also used tempera

• Do you follow a process or work by instinct?

Systematic following of instincts is my creative path

• What message do you want to share through your art?

A long time ago I wrote about my works: "This is sexual desire, pain confined within the limits of monochrome, ecofetishism and an attempt at reflection in the adult world of an inner child mired in the endless anthropomorphization of objects of everyday life. I like to depersonalize and at the same time breathe life into the initially inanimate. Well, people always find something in this that surprises me.."
