What a fabulous evening at @conradlondonsj in Westminster.
On the picture with my painting commissioned by the hotel and with fabulous Beverly Payne, general manager who warmly welcomed me last night. Thank you for this fantastic opportunity of showcasing my work in most prime location at the heart of London.
Celebrate your imperfections. The beauty will follow.
We live in a visually demanding society. There is so much pressure on the way we look and present ourselves that is sometimes breathtaking. How can we release the images stuck into our heads and be happy again without loosing our identity?
As Narain Ishaya stated yesterday at his book launch ''Chit Happens'' in London,
'Get rid of all your limitations. We impose limits on ourselves.' In the same way we can also release limiting beliefs. Free ourselves.
In regards to the subject I was investigating Aries -people who were born in the same month as me.
I did lots of research on the way Aries perceive reality and what are their strengths and weaknesses.
Here are the results.
Enjoy and start celebrating your body.
Visiting Rothko’s at the MET in NYC
Mark Rothko
I love Rothko’s paintings. The space inside them allows you to dive into this vast world of possibilities and other dimensions. His paintings give us a room to breath the air from a different planet- so comforting.
Interest
My interest was pretty obvious since I remembered. I was drawing, painting and amputating legs of my dolls since I was a little girl. I guess that tell a lot. After my diagnosis at the age of 16 years old my new vocation became apparent.
Nothing was the same. I learnt that medicine is limited and it does not appreciate our mind and its powers in the healing process. That quickly put me off becoming a surgeon and instead I decided to devote myself to painting. It was and is my passion that I live for. The process of painting helped me to heal my soul from toxins of the past and implement new ways of living into my messy life. Painting was my salvation and blessing.
The decision to become an artist was obvious however it took a lot of courage considering that I was growing up in a broken home, single mother raising me and my siblings, father who spend every single penny on alcohol.
There was one memorable incident that helped me to decide what I really want in life regardless.
I had a massive bleeding night and my doctor was not sure whether or not I will make it till the next day.
I remember that night very well. I did not sleep. A stranger with whom I shared a hospital room was holding my hand keeping me awake.
The possibility of dying was very real and waiting right at the corner. I asked myself many questions that night. Out of all the most important questions was ‘How do I want to live my life if I will survive this?’ There was only one answer- to paint.
That is how I started painting my Heads series which you can access on my website. A lot of them were painted under my hospital bed.
