~ Intuitive Abstract Visual Artist ~

Contact: ilna.colemere@gmail.com

I am an intuitive art maker. My moment of inspiration occurs with my first touch of the canvas. My art work is dusted with my DNA as my hands work to capture the spiritual conversation between the spirit of the canvas, my inner self, and my creative process. When I apply the first layer of medium with my hands and fingers,I allow the surface to guide me in creating ridged depressions with random unstructured shapes. These textured elements provide supporting layered channels for the intense, vibrant colors I use to capture the story the canvas has to tell. These are orphaned embellishments until I adopt them as critical to the composition, as they provide a creative current for the visual articulation of my art.

My work carries my physical signature as well as my thumbprint, forever bonding me to my artwork. Because my work is responsive, my themes are driven by a combination of reflection, emotions and the sensory input of texture, color, line and shape. The constant need to fulfill the unconditional spiritual contract between the canvas and mySelf, takes on a life of its own - tethering the muse of the canvas to my creative energy.
