And you freeze. I am only a guide of painting, it controls my hands, thoughts, forces me to obey it, gives strength and selects at the same time.

WHAT IS POWER OF A WOMAN?

I have never shared women’s art and men’s art, for me, creativity is always pure energy, sincerity, somewhere self-sacrifice, somewhere open selfishness – but it is always an emotion that should not leave the viewer indifferent, and if this force of influence on a person is great and leaves its mark,reflects and makes you think and empathize – the power of art is really great … and female power also carries love,strange, unbiased, forgotten or alive and unbreakable. Art is always an invisible flow that picks up, sucks and interacts and only a woman can “force” to tame this element and decide for herself: turn it into a hurricane or level it to complete calm!The power of a woman in her element, different, uncontrollable and unmanageable!
