Artists Eva Kolacz 1 page

`My paintings are a return to what is spiritual, an awakening of human feelings, a stirring of visual sensations—and the power of life flowing through us. I try to notice the various states and transformations of my inner self, as I have done through my poetry, hoping that these “notes” will find their way to sensitive viewers. Through colour and shape, light and shadow, I would like to ignite thoughts that evoke emotions and personal reflections.`
