Hello dear Visitor! So glad to have here and you reading my blog and learn a little something about my personal life. This is my first blog, my first own homepage, my first little store!
How it all started
When I arrived in Switzerland, I found myself in a new country, with a different culture and a language I didn’t yet speak. It felt like starting over — a great challenge, but also an opportunity to rediscover myself.
Art has always been part of my life. In the beginning, I immersed myself in painting and decorative canvases.
Never the less, I tried and tried... and tried again... I spend a lot of money for canvases, for acrylic colors and also a lot on soap to free my hair of the acrylic colors... In the end I was happy with the results. Let me know what you guys think!
In 2016, I had the joy of holding a small exhibition, and from that moment on, some of my artworks traveled farther than I did: today they can be found in homes across Switzerland, Bulgaria, Germany, and other corners of Europe, each carrying a piece of my story.
Later, I explored other forms of artistic expression — working with recycled materials, turning simple things into beauty, then experimenting with cement, plaster, and...
finally discovering my greatest passion: natural flowers and resin.
The motivation to transform this work into something greater came during one of the most challenging moments of my life. I decided to use art not only as a way of expression but also as a source of strength, as healing, and as a path to inspire other women to reconnect with their creativity, their courage, and their inner light.
Today, through ART 4 YOU and the workshops I lead, I share this journey. More than teaching techniques, I want to show that art can be a path to self-discovery, to resilience, and to transforming pain into beauty, difficulties into growth, and dreams into reality.
If my story can touch the heart of even one woman and inspire her to believe in herself again, then it has all been worthwhile.
