WHO AM I? I am Somebody ...Someone who has never been happy with himself and his surroundings.Someone who wanted to prove more and felt like an elephant in the china shop and somewhere deep down knew that sometimes, this someone can do something.I had already traveled to Spain during high school art school and returned to earn money as a waitress. Even then, Spain and its diversity, smells, tastes, colors, people, music appealed to me...I remained enchanted and felt that I belonged there.After school I managed to go to this picturesque country and live there for a long time. In addition to working in a hotel, I got into the talent exams for the art school by complete chance. I don't even know how and I studied different kinds of art through courses with many inspiring artists.After I successfully graduated, I was so filled with all the impressions and ideas that I couldn't even create because of the chaos and the GREATNESS of everything beautiful mixed inside me...After returning to Slovakia and starting a family, my thoughts calmed down and I started to create.Although I had my first two exhibitions while studying in Barcelona and Valladolid, my first REAL works were painted at night in my living room in Slovakia, where I created a still very successful collection of oil paintings called "Musicians on Canvas". This collection still travels around exhibitions today and as there is a demand for it, I am constantly adding new pieces to it.I have tried different techniques and styles and I think it is only now that I have found what describes me and what gives me energy. It's a combination of different techniques, styles, transferred into one whole. I also learned the ZENTAGLE technique in Spain, but only now, by combining it with other techniques, I'm so interested in it that I can't go a day without drawing and doodling.Each of my works takes me over 100 hours to create. Since I work mostly with special pens and markers and focus on details, it takes quite a long time to form a large whole. What I love most about this technique is that even though I have an idea of the painting at the beginning, I never know what the painting will look like in the end because I change it according to my moods... These pieces are focused on lots of details and on enchantment with colors and expression. It is something that only I have created...
