Vita Schagen

I love to visualize the images in my mind and then translate them onto the canvas. The saying "live every day as if it were your last" deeply resonates with me, and I strive to express that value of life as an amazing gift and make every day count in my work by creating beauty - not only for myself, but also for others. I prefer the impasto technique to a brush, because it allows me more flexibility and freedom while painting with vivid thick layers, combining simplicity with beauty and transferring my emotions directly onto the canvas.
