Paint me if you can...

Among many different art techniques, acrylic painting would be always my choice number one. You can create such a symphony of colours…. colours that shine, fix your eyes for few seconds and make you travel… Great paintings make me stop for few minutes and I can not take my eyes of the picture. My mind starts thinking and takes me away… I will always remember one movie where they painted with special brush that transformed the painting in the living picture. You could actually enter and become part of the painting. The problem was to come back to the reality… some people liked the imaginary world so much that they even preferred staying there and leaving behind all their beloved…

I would like to present you so far very small collection of my paintings… Each painting has its story behind, the source of inspiration, the aim of creation, and as I continue painting, you will find here always new arts:-).

"Our Identity" (Neli&Ka) October 2008 This painting is very personal… together with Karim we copied our hands, again and again… and created this puzzle of hands. The single hand drawings would not be so special but with the crossings of the lines we created many separate areas that turned the picture into puzzle. Each area was then painted with different colour. This painting is like our identity… our hands are the same, same number of fingers, one left another right, but we are so different as all those colours, our family, religion, culture. And the most beautiful is the combination of all that and it only proves that we are united in diversity.

“Happy Elephant” September 2008 Here is used the mix of various techniques – painting, mosaic, collage. Happy Elephant was a gift for my mum this year… on her birthday. It’s a shining picture, shinning as a sunny day, shinning as my childhood,… shinning as me when I am happy:-)

“Friendship Tree” January 2008 This one was a gift for a friend. Friendship Tree is a concept we used in AIESEC during conferences. We drew a tree and asked delegated to take post-its and write little messages for their friends. At the end of the conference, tree and full of messages and the room was full of new friends!

“Passion Garden” (Neli&Ka) January 2008 You can find this painting in Anna’s room. This garden is full of passion fruit flowers that grow one over another… but the most important is that they are all together…

“Bouquet” January 2006 This was my revelation… a re-discovery of my passion for painting and art after many years. I painted this picture one winter weekend at home… people were amazed how simple but beautiful the picture is and I was really happy how it turned out. It was my goodbye present for my lover when I was leaving France. I would never say that one day this painting will be part of our shared home.
