“THE POWER OF IMAGINATION”

The exhibited works of art below have been carefully selected in order to enable the viewer to embark onto a colourful journey, whereof the paintings have more to “tell” than just a coloured surface. The synergy of various natural elements incorporated into the works of art not only offers a three dimensional perspective but also multi-dimensional emotions. Although all works of art are very different, they have something in common. It is fascinating to see how natural elements such as wood, metal, sand, feathers, eggs, bones and plants used in different ways can depict enigmatic landscapes and convey specific messages – parallel real and metaphoric. Nature is present in all forms, either referring to the jungle, to the desert, to the sea life or to human nature such as emotions and feelings. As life is symbolic, the artist has given her own interpretation and message to some works of art trying to decode the hidden nature of truth. However the viewer is invited to be submerged in his or her own world of imagination for a personal interpretation according to his or her feelings and emotions.

ETERNITY 120 x 70 cm, acrylic on canvas, relief on wood with painted “papier maché”, 3D “The unnameable is the eternally real; it is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities. Eternity was never born; thus it can never die. Above, it isn't bright. Below, it isn't dark. Seamless, unnameable, it returns to the realm of nothing. Form that includes all forms, image without an image, subtle, beyond all conception”.
