About Artist:

I am a Visionary Artist based in Vienna, Austria and have the Intention to use my art to trigger healing and connection to people who come across it. All my life, I have been struggling with self love and the moment I decided to take the leap of faith to pursue a creative life, I have been healing my soul piece by piece in ways unimagninable. Being able to see my inner workings as a human through my paintbrush has helped me identify and face my suppressed fears and relearn the meaning of worth and strength. This is why I want to spread my artwork in hopes of giving someone else the gift of self love. I am obsessed with creating an atmospheric flow towards interdimensional portals where people can dive into and explore different aspects of their consciousness. I am very much influenced by the psychedellic art movement and the way it has awoken the collective consiousness that is used to spread love.

I mostly paint with Acrylics, oils or watercolour and am currently deeply exploring the "Mischtechnik" - originated and made famous by Ernst Fuchs in Vienna, Austria. This technique is displayed usually by starting a painting out with an Acrylic underpainting and working with oils on top. "Glazing" over white paint with a thinned out color repeatedly after bringing back the whites is another technique that can assist in creating artwork that associated with being "spirit-like" or having an essence or glow. 

I started my Artistic path almost a year ago (August 2019) at a wonderful school "The Vienna academy of Visionary Art". The structure of learning was nowhere near traditional, and that was exactly what lured me in. I was in the need of a safe space to learn. Somewhere for masters to transfer their conscious data to students in a non-competitive, non judgemental way. For the child in me to feel accepted and encouraged and to get up and create authentic art. The strides I have made in not even one year proves to me how much more acceptance this world needs, and that it always starts with ourselves. Through my creations, I will prove the fact that it is possible to become our best selves and work in a loving, non competitive and supportive environment simultaneously.

About Artwork:

This piece started out as a "Decalcomania" which is done by smudging watery paint on a smooth panel or canvas and creating textures with various materials such as plastic wrap or even your hand. After the texture is created, I sat with the abstract piece and listened to what the painting wanted from me rather than the opposite way around. Through this technique, an androgynous face emerged from the rock like textures and a seascape flowed down and into her neck. It was clearer than day what the painting wanted from me. 

It is often said that the eyes are the window to the soul, but what is usually forgotten are the ears. Through the sense of hearing, we can percieve, feel and impact as much as our sight if not more. Whether you can hear something or not, energy can still be transmitted through vibrational frequencies. Emotions emit through these waves and can impact the world greatly. This painting is a reminder to not forget to focus on these senses and consciously spread positive (light) vibrational frequencies out into the world. Merely by focusing inward and listening, we can help create an Earth to all flourish on.
