Mina Sevo

Mina Sevo was born in September of ‘69. in a small urban settlement called Sombor, located in the north of Serbia, Europe. She binds her first attempts at painting to the year of 1998, when she started making adaptations of pieces created by the great masters of Art, such as Picasso, Van Gogh and others. Their influence is still present in her paintings to this day, as well as the influence of famous pop artists like Andy Warhole, Keith Haring and Tom Fedro. Mina always knew she had talent that could flourish in this branch of art and that the colors truly are her best friends. But the real trigger that got her into painting was a serious health challenge that shook her quite a bit, and even though she didn’t know it on a conscious level, in retrospect she realized that she was healed by it. In her case, stressful situations often represented the driving force which made her pursue the search for inner peace that, in one way or another, always resulted in producing art. She began understanding just how much painting and other forms of self-expression can be psychophysically healing and that being present in the now, sitting in front of a blank canvas with a smeared paintbrush in hand, truly is her way of active meditation.
