Violetta Strabic

I am exploring the beauty of nature in a surreal way. I like to spark your imagination by hiding figures in these whimsical scenes or mimicking movement in the scene through creating dreamy flowing brushstrokes. Being subtly placed, yet noticeable just enough, it makes you want to hunt around exploring the picture to see what is going on. The artwork becomes a playfully pleasing game like a where's Wally? poster or easter egg hunt.
