Hana Watral Mikulenková

I paint. I believe in painting. I collect visual experience of everyday life, from the journey and from places somewhere on the edge of passion. The need for the materialization of my ideas to canvas is the way. Matter of the heart. Authenticity. I use painting to anchor harmony in layers of acrylic, gestures, range of colors, and expressive imprint of the brush. In drawings, by contrast, I focus on detail and precision inline direction.I confess influence by tattoos and Asian traditional calligraphy in it. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, where I graduated in 2011. IV. studio led by Professor Ivan Csudai. Now I create in Czechia and my second home is a tropical Island Bali.
