Pavlina Ostra

From a young age, I was drawn to various artistic pursuits, whether it was playing musical instruments, singing, or drawing. These passions have been with me throughout my entire life, and I feel like the desire to express my true self was simply born within me, further amplified by life's unfolding events.



My greatest motivation is to create works that draw the observer into the painting, allowing them to fully experience their emotions. In these fast-paced times, I increasingly perceive the importance of the connection between humans and nature, of understanding their natural laws. In a world full of technology and a focus on reason and performance, a major imbalance arises, along with a lack of ability to truly feel and express what we actually experience. Art helps us pause and merge with the moment, allowing us to perceive and release turbulent emotions that would otherwise have no outlet, leading to various physical pains.



The aim of my paintings is to remind us of the gift of life and evoke feelings that reflect what truly holds deep value in life.



When I paint, time stops for me, and nothing else exists in that moment but the emerging image in front of me. I believe that this pure state transfers into the paintings...
