This picture is a limited edition numbered Giclée print on canvas of my digital painting. It is ready to hang and the surface is varnished for water and UV resistance. The symbols on the planets are taken from the book 'Das Meisterwissen von Atlantis' by F.E. Eckard Strohm with permission of the author. The 22 symbols represent the 22 paths of initiation as the Atlantean depicted them. The same 22 paths appear in the Tarot cards and also in the sefirots of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The roads of love, balance, harmony etc. help us to understand ourselves, our aim in life and creation itself.
I have been brought up in an artist family, exhibitions and art camps have always been part of everyday life. Therefore, my artistic upbringing has started very early. My studies took me to London for 6 years, where I had excellent opportunity to see and ’feel’ live the works of the great masters. The beauty, energy and inspiration coming fr om these works left an everlasting imprint on me. Painting is wh ere I feel myself at home. I had many opportunities to experiment with various techniques and materials. I had periods when I preferred aquarelle and chalk. However, about 15 years ago I started using oil paints and I still could not get tired of the vibrating colours, the infinite possibilities of mixing and the silky structure of the paints. A few years ago I have started making digital paintings. I use a stylus and a digital drawing tablet, the painting appears on the monitor just waiting to be printed on canvas or paper. In my work I love to explore hidden meanings and connections in life, searching for the invisible sense and wisdom of creation and aiming to capture life in its full beauty.
