Spring inspiration

Spring is one of the most beautiful time of the year. I’m really grateful that I live in such a beautiful place. near the river and forest. The birds are singing, butterflies are flying and there’s so much greenery surrounding me.

Each year I love to take a lot of photos to capture this beauty and use it as an inspiration for my art.

Spring inspiration

There’s a big and old apple tree in the garden that blooms beautifully each year. The blooming is only for the short period but it’s truly a magical.

Like I already mentioned, there is a forest few minutes away from my house. I love to go for a walk in the forest. The road leads to a little bridge with a beautiful view. It’s so peaceful there. When I’m having a creative block, I go there to be inspired.

You probably might have noticed that I often use Lilac colors in my work. There is a purple-ish Lilacs in my garden. They bloom only for about 2 weeks. They have amazing sweet fragrance. When I sit on the balcony, the breeze is filled with its fragrance.


Besides Lilacs there are various flowers in the garden. Some of it I plant each year and some of them are permanent flowers that have been in the garden for a long time.

I’m a huge fan of Petunias. There are beautiful pink petunias on the balcony.

New Spring series in the process

Hey guys!
Yesterday was first day of Spring and what better way to celebrate it than to work on a new mini series.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have noticed that last month I launched my first series of 2023 and this was inspired by Spring. You can view it here.

With that being said, I want to keep exploring Spring colors in my work and capture the beauty of all the Spring flowers that I’ve seen in stores and brought home.

I love that time of the year. The flowers that I have in my studio have such amazing fresh fragrance. It’s impossible not to be inspired by them.

That’s how the idea for new mini series was born.

I had just come home from store with my new flowers and as I was sitting in my studio, I suddenly knew that something new is about to be born.

Outdoors doesn’t match the beautiful colors in the studio but that’s okay. It’s is why I’m working on this series so that I could bring Spring colors indoors and elevate the space.

The series will have 5 paintings in size 11,7x16,5”. I love working on smaller paintings on paper because they can be paired together on a wall and would look great in a white matted frame.

I don’t have the exact date when the series will launch as I’m still working on it but if you want to be the first one to know when it launches, you can sign up to my email list here.

2022: a year in review

2022 was definitely a good year.

In the beginning of the year I worked on a series Bloom and shine that was inspired by flowers. I wanted to explore beautiful texture and colors in this series. This series was also the reason I decided to concentrate on painting flowers.

I decided to change what I had been doing until that moment and only paint flowers.

I felt so excited and wanted to start working large paintings again.

Enchanted garden was one of the first paintings that I did which was inspired by flowers and had the style and colors that I felt drawn to.

I was so happy with how it turned out,
I kept painting.
I felt like I had just discovered a new world.

A world filled with beautiful colors and magic.

Time passed by and Spring was showing its first signs. I felt so inspired by all the greenery around me and all the Spring flowers that had started to bloom in the garden.

I planted new flowers in the garden and used these flowers as the resource of inspiration for several paintings,

The collection of paintings were growing beautifully.

I loved working on large paintings.

Then I got offered an opportunity to exhibit at the group exhibition at Victoria Olt gallery.

I had 2 paintings at the exhibition.

I had an opportunity to meet other artists and see their beautiful art.

In October I participated in my second group exhibition at Victoria Olt Gallery. The exhibition was focused on art collectors who have just started their collection.

In the end of the year I worked on some smaller paintings and also finished one of my favorite paintings Simple delights.

I took some time off and reflected on 2022 and thought about all the things I want to accomplish in 2023.

I’m so grateful for all the experiences and lessons that 2022 brought. I learned so many new things about myself and art.

Gerbera daisies inspired abstract painting Endless love

Hey guys!

I saw so beautiful Gerbera daisies at the shop and I immediately felt inspired to paint them.

Aren’t they pretty?

I put on some really good music and dove into the endless flow.

Sometimes painting just flows out of me and this painting was one of them.

These gorgeous greens really transported me back to summer and made me think about love and passion.

When I finished the painting, I immediately knew how to name it. I decided to title it: Endless love.

These deep magentas radiate love and romance.

I’m really happy with how it turned out.

This painting is available through Victoria Olt gallery.

Would love to know what you think about this painting? What does it make you think of?

Rose inspired abstract paintings

Hey guys

I was at the supermarket and saw a beautiful bouquet of roses and I just couldn’t help myself and bought them.

At first I felt a little bit intimidated because this is not the usual color that I use in my paintings but at the same time I wanted to try something new.

As I started mixing the colors for the painting, I got a great feeling that something beautiful will come out of it.

Working with these colors were such amazing experience. I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful these pinks looked with all the fresh greens and gold leaf.

My mom came to visit me and told me that she loves this color combination so much.

Loved working on all the little details. Often times photos don’t do justice to the paintings so I wanted to share this close up so that you could see the gorgeous texture.

These beautiful roses lasted surprisingly long and brought so much life into my home. Fall is here and I’m glad I can get so pretty flowers from the supermarket to use as a source of inspiration.

What do you think about the paintings and the color combination?

Behind the scenes- new paintings in the process

Hey guys!

I’m really excited to announce that I’m working on new paintings.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably have noticed that I like to work on canvases and paper.

I’ve noticed that this is the best way for me. I like to switch between working on canvases and paper.

Working on smaller paintings ( on paper) lets me try new color combinations. I love it because working on smaller paintings removes the fear of messing things up.

The paintings that I’m currently working on are both 23x27,5”

The painting that I’m holding on the photo below, shows my painting Lost in the beauty. When I started working on the canvas, I used this painting as a color inspiration.

I’m sure the painting will probably change a lot in the process but it was really nice to start with these soft pinks.
