"TO ME A PIECE OF ART IS A CONNECTION TO MY SOUL, MY FEELINGS, MY LIFE JOURNEY, AND MY DREAMS." (Aria Dellcorta)

My world consists of paints and brushes, forms, colors, shapes, and magical moments. When I paint, everything around me just stops… the world decomposes, and there is nothing in existence. It is just me plugged into the connection of a never-ending source of ideas flowing through my soul and the painting process begins.
I have two parallel collection of paintings; "Rendered Jewels" and "Energizers". In both collections I use abstraction and color harmony to express the ideas I accumulate from the Universe and combine them with what is going on inside me and my soul. "Energizers" are "Rendered Jewels" in even more abstract form.
I am intrigued by the fleeting balance between strength and fragility, tranquility, action, connection in the universe, nature, and the human mind. Every painting I make is a piece of my artistic answer to those “searches”. I use mixed media and Magic light, so most of my paintings glow in the dark and the "unseen" reveals. The excellent knowledge of different materials allows me to use mixed media technique and achieve unique effects.
For the past few years I have constantly been traveling ...

I am full-time fine artist since 2004 while studying art at the Department of Fine Arts at University of Maribor, Faculty of Education in Slovenia.
