    IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ART COLLECTORS: 
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    I am preparing for a new chapter in my life. I have to pack and ship my few hundred paintings and change homes and countries. So..

    IF YOU LIKE ONE OF MY PAINTINGS AND THE PRICE IS NOT ALIGNED WITH YOUR BUDGET, PLEASE MAKE ME AN OFFER OR REACH OUT WITH A DIRECT MESSAGE. 
    I MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND HAVE THAT PAINTING HANGING IN YOUR HOME.
    --------------------------------------------------------------

    I am a self-taught dreamer and artist. To dream is my path and to paint is my dream. Painting fulfills me. The ritual of preparing my materials, the working table, the music, everything about it makes me happy. Opening the pigment jars, feeling the specific scent of the resin (the medium I paint with), observing the mediums interacting and changing under fire, the peaceful restlessness I feel during the process, the perpetual element of surprise, everything is pure joy for me. Lack of control is not my strong suit, but in the painting process, things are different. The resin (also known as liquid glass) has a mind of its own and I learn to mindfully let go every time I paint. I allow those liquid color-induced emotions I feel to drive me and take the lead of my hands and at the end of the process, it's just music and bliss. Resin flowing on the painting surface is like a butterfly unfolding its wings for the very first time, overwhelming beauty and color reveal uniquely surprising patterns ready to fill the yearning eyes and souls. I get to create my own “pupas” and watch them emerge into beautiful “butterflies” on the painting surface. I love this painting style because it cannot be reproduced, repeated, or recreated, every painting obtained through this technique happens only once in an infinity of attempts. In a way, these paintings are like us humans: one of a kind, for eternity. Isn’t that amazing?

    I am a full-time internationally selling artist with work in private collections in the USA, South America, Asia, Australia, and all over Europe (Italy, Spain, France, and Germany)
    Most recently sold to South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Portugal, Singapore

    Social Media?
    I am most active on Instagram, where collectors, admirers, and friends can follow my work and ongoing projects. 

    ************

    Inspiration?

    My inspiration is always nature's force, balance, perfection in purpose and beauty, it can be a place I traveled or sailed to or just the breeze or a feeling while floating on our a boat docked in a Turkish marina or just on anchor nearby a greek taverna on a remote tiny island in the Mediterranean or Aegean Sea. It can be this artist as a little girl reading "The Count of Monte Christo" trying to escape her cold tiny grey communist bedroom by daydreaming and traveling to exotic warm places with gold sand beaches and teal clear water oceans and seas.

    Regardless of the place or sensation that triggers me to paint, I always seek and aim for the same thing: I want the viewer to feel warmth, solace, calm, and inner peace, I want them to feel the warm waters touching their feet and that turquoise-teal-gold perfect color ratio fill their hungry for beauty eyes and soul.

    So if you love the ocean, walk on a breezy beach, or describe yourself as an ocean lover, my art can and will bring you joy and closer to that salty sunny beach of your dreams.
