ABOUT

Hi and welcome to my colorful world! I'm Mihaela, and I'm absolutely thrilled to have you here amidst the vibrant hues and blooming dreams.

In this space, I invite you to join me on a journey where art dances with the kaleidoscope of life. As a wife and mother of two, as well as a full-time worker, painting is not just my passion; it's my sanctuary—a playground where I weave dreams into reality, brushstroke by brushstroke.

From my childhood, I've been captivated by the magic of colors and the allure of petals shining in the sun. Back then, I dreamed of becoming not just an artist, but a fashion designer, infusing the world with beauty and creativity. That spark ignited into a flame when I found myself in Belgium alone at the age of 19 and this is when I took my first painting lesson. Since then, there's been no turning back.

Drawing inspiration from the abstract expressionist movement and visionary artists like Joan Mitchell, I took many classes with contemporary artists such as Flora Bowley, Amira Rahim and Llewellyn Skye,  my art sings with the symphony of nature's beauty. Every stroke of acrylic paint, every flourish of the brush or palette knife, is an ode to the infinite beauty and joy that surrounds us.

My creative process is an intuitive dance, where colors and shapes lead the way, and I follow, allowing the canvas to whisper its secrets. Just as in life's journey, there's a "Kon Mari" moment, where I declutter and refine, extracting the essence built on those previous layers.

Lately, my heart has been captivated by the bold allure of flowers—those fleeting yet magnificent symbols of life's transience. In them, I find a reminder to seize each moment, to make our time here on Earth a tapestry of unforgettable moments, while we can.

Through my art, I seek to inspire fellow dreamers and flower lovers alike, urging them to embrace their true colors, one bold stroke at a time. For it's in those daring moves that we rewrite our stories, painting our dreams into existence and chasing them with passion.

So, let us wander through fields of color, letting petals and dreams interlink, and may my art be a sign of inspiration for those who dare to dream, to bloom, and to paint their world with the hues of their heart's desire.
