"With Ease"... This painting is an ode to gardens. I love spending time in gardens. I grew up in Prague, CZ, and was a frequent visitor to my grandma's flower kingdom. Something was always popping up; something always needed watering. This piece captures the moment - one of true ease and relaxation - when we feel "held" deeply by a garden; when nature is doing its own thing and we get to witness the beauty.
My paintings in the “Visual Insights into Life’s Beauty” series explore how we celebrate life with our words. Literature inspires me: words build bridges between colors and shapes. I note interesting words in books and poems and use them as titles for my artworks. The paintings are visual meditations on language connecting us to ourselves and others. I work on yupo, a non-absorbent medium. You may find me in a cold studio to extend the drying process or in my garden in sunlight watching water disappear before my eyes. These aspects of the process bring me back to the power of words: sometimes they note fleeting moments, other times they stick around for years.
