Mona Lazar

I see color before I see anything else. Shapes just fade into the background unseen and unheard, drowned in a world of color that has a life of its own. Faces and voices turn into pure emotion and I then transfer them to the canvas into abstract or figurative form. I never decide what I paint. The paint decides and choses me to come into existence through my brush. I don’t argue, nor do I get in the way of art. I just feel grateful to be chosen and transfer the energy of the universe onto the canvas.

When I connect to art, I disconnect from everything else. I am in a space where there is just me and the energy of creation. I feel it going through me like water. Sometimes it’s a tsunami and sometimes it’s just a trickle, but it’s always there, unyielding, as strong as the force of life.

I open the door to my soul and step into a state of flow that makes me feel larger than life and in sync with source.

It is my greatest joy to experience the ecstasy of painting and writing and I just feel so accomplished when I can share this ecstasy with others, with those who gave themselves time to sit face to face with my work and let its pure emotion reach them. And I promise you, this is not about art. It is about the ecstasy of paint...
