Unafraid Painting

Tonka’s artistic journey began early, with a passion for drawing and an instinct for the arts. She initially trained in Stone Sculpture, immersing herself in the art of shape, volume and surface. However, her true calling pulled her back to the canvas and in 2015 after a 15-year break, Tonka reignited her creative energy, this time with figurative drawings and portraits. She explored the depths of watercolor and oil paints, adding fresh dimension to her work. A devoted follower of fashion and admirer of the power of personal style, Tonka finds endless inspiration in the elegance and individuality of women. Her art often captures this fascination, using style as a lens to express character and emotion. Her piece, *Past to Present*, was selected for Saatchi Art’s "Spotlight on London" Collection, showcasing her talent to an even broader audience. Through her work, Tonka brings a unique blend of strength and softness, perfect for collectors looking to add pieces with soul and style to their collections.
