Informationen / Biografie über Dasha Stempkowski

Painting is the main passion of my life! Sometimes I do not paint for months, until suddenly an experience, emotion or a moment inspires me to snap the canvas and a box of paints and express it, getting hold of the sensation before it passes. I see a lot of parallels between art and life, one being the distorted reflection of the other. Nothing in life is more beautiful, but at the same tragic, destructive, intense, fascinating, inspiring and delicate than art, nothing but the life itself. Art reflects the miracles and tragedies of our lives, with their unpredictability, contradictions, emotional rollercoasters and unique individual experiences.
For me, art is a way to delve into the ambiguous universe of the less obvious and explored aspects of our being dreams, journeys in the inner planes, soul travels and subconscious realities. My works are not based on any particular subject; instead, they reflect sensations created by momentary creative flashes, imagination and dreams. Fascinating for me are the inner impulses of a human being such as innermost memory and sensory perception. Fantasy and reality merge and construct on the canvas explosion of colors and contrasting, illusory characters.
