Mirage Painting

A native of Belarus, Aksana Chmel now lives and works in Morocco. Her interest in art started very early. Art has always taken a very important place in her life.

She graduated as the Interior Designer from the Higher School of Architecture and Design in 2010.

Today Aksana Chmel continues her active career as a professional artist, her works have found home in private collections in many countries such as Morocco, Russia, France, Italy,UK, USA and UAE. In her abstract paintings, she speaks to us in the language of colors and shapes about such deep philosophical meanings as : where we come from, who we are, why we are on this earth and what is happening in the human soul. And in the flowers and women's faces she wants us to read the poetry of our world. Aksana finds her inspiration in the beauty of each day and in many different mindful and spiritual practices. All of her oil paintings are unique and exist in a single copy only.
