A garden in your dreams Painting

Painting is a deep need for me, an integral piece of who I am, a channel for expression. It is a therapy tool in which I get lost in time and space: my mind wanders into its world, while everything around disappear and the time stand still. I paint following my intuition, the ebbs and flows of my subconscious mind, without knowing where it will take me or what the outcome will be. Sometimes I have a vision inside my head about how the painting should look, only to find later that it became something different. Other times I feel I am creating a piece for a very specific person for whom the painting is destined. I feel that the painting and the future owner will find their way to each other at some point in time. I grab inspiration from my surroundings, too: landscapes, pictures, decor, emotions, nature. Layer after layer, my paintings emerge, until I feel is ready for a viewer to be moved by it on an emotional level. I want my paintings to create a soft impact, to engage the spectator by its colors, shapes, texture, marks, brushes strokes, values and contrasts, enhancing the mood in them. My aim is that my paintings produce an harmonious feeling in the spaces the pieces are meant to be. Bringing joy and happiness to the collector that decides to take to them to its own world. For my creations I use a range of acrylic paintings, wax crayons and water soluble color pencils applied on mixed media paper, heavy watercolor paper and cotton canvas.
