Although I love working with geometric shapes, it is fun to throw in a few organic ones here and there. Landscapes have always had a special place in my heart. I have created them with oils, acrylics, watercolors, ink, graphite, chalk, and oil pastels…but none of them were as fun to create as this one with layers of paper and thread. 🪡 Unforgettable View 2024 Thread, foam board, and watercolor paper 9” x 12” x 3/4” (framed 11” x 14”) Available @108contemporary (link in bio) *sold* #unforgettableview #abstractlandscape #differentangledifferentview #warmcolors #textilepaperart #stitchingonpaper #embroideryonpaper #layeredpaper #artistmotherco #thrivetogethernetwork #fiberartistsofoklahoma #artconnectsociety #tulsaartist
“The title “Perfidia” which translates as treachery, refers to the disillusionment I suffered after becoming a mother myself in a villageless modern world. The studies depict my own mother, she was 21 years old at the time of the pictures, she had 3 children already then. Here she is depicted in the midst of a dinner party, people around her, celebrating the joyous occasion, yet she is just like every other day being a mother, feeding her oldest son, while holding my middle sister. I’m sitting opposite to her in my grandmother’s lap. No one is helping her, is though as if no one sees her, no one knows how tired her mind, body and soul were. I have lived and walked through some of the same situations myself. Decades apart from each other, I still feel that we “women” have been deceived, deceived into bringing children into this world and then added on endless burdens and somehow expected to survive on our own and in this modern times even expected to thrive and succeed.” Perfidia Acto I Oil on paper 41.5 x 49.5 cm Art Connect Society Safe Spaces Prague Exhibition 2024 #SafeSpacesCZ @adiosalasfresas #artconnectsociety #artconnectwomen #artistcommunity #womenartists

“My figurative paintings explore the sensations of the female body through themes of fertility, maternity, and the monstrous feminine (which emphasizes the female reproductive body as the core of the monstrous, pitting it against patriarchal views). I am inspired by folklore and classical mythology, while the details of my paintings often reference my own body and background.“ @alexandracarterstudio “Solar Flexion” 2024.

TITLE: NIGHT GUARDS Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 68 X 82cm DM If you would like this art hanging in your space 💙 The painting immerses viewers in a twilight realm where owls reign supreme as the guardians of the night. It is a revelation of the secretive world of these nocturnal hunters, as their silent wings glide through moonlit woods. Each owl's eerie hoot echoes through the forest, setting a spellbinding scene that enchants and unsettles. The painting captures the owl's commanding presence, showcasing their ability to fill the night with an aura of mystery and majesty. Night Guards invite viewers to experience the magic of the forest after dark, where the owl's calls transform the landscape into a realm of whispers and shadows. #wildlifeartcollectors #owlpaintings #owlartwork #owllovers #owlsofig #owlart #birdartofinstagram #birdartists #birdartwork #birdsinart #birdwatchingmagazine #wildlifeconservationsociety #artcollectorsofig #artawf #artofsurvival #artconnectswomen #artconnectsociety #contemporaryartcollectors #contemporarymodernpainting #africanartcollectors #thealmenaracollection #worldartistshub #colorfulartworks #contemporaryabstracts #contemporaryabstractpainting #conceptualarts #nightpaintings #contemporarywildlifeart #contemporaryartcurators #africanartistavni

Cheers to pushing beyond the comfort zone. Everything moves so quickly that I sometimes forget to sit with… A few recent firsts: Performance ritual with @klarasiska_performance, live painting with @andreacircles @adiosalasfresas, mural with Cindy, collaborating on songwriting with @kristileimusic… and so much more! These firsts were pretty out of my comfort zone at the start and now I’m just so very thrilled, couldn’t imagine my life without them, and ready for the next! What has pushed you into a new zone lately? Please share and let’s celebrate! 🎉 PS yes, I chose the simply perfect first capture to illustrate because isn’t it all about that element of funky fresh too 💃🏻 😉 The second pic was a gift, a memory of the song we started with my dearest Kristi.

“I explored the contrast - the softness and firmness, the texture and smoothness, the colour and black pencil - and a picture of these amazing butterfly mountains emerged. A butterfly that has hatched from a caterpillar and a mountain that doesn’t change. Or can a mountain transform?” From our inspiring @_klara_siska_ Zkoumala jsem kontrast - jemnost a pevnost, struktura a hladkost, barva a černá tužka - a vznikl obraz těchto úžasných motýlích hor. Motýl, který se vylíhl z housenky a hora co se nemění.

The Art Sisters Podcast presents the voices of women in the arts, promoting awareness, understanding, connection… Join us! NEW EPISODE OUT NOW Leila Angelina Freiburg put her longing in a tiny box, until she realised she could break the stereotype in herself that an artist was someone who only concentrated on his/herself. The belief that being an artist meant taking the art more seriously than the needs of ones family. Realising that taking time for her art was an essential part of meeting her basic needs, she never looked back. “I thought, I decided to become a lawyer. And, my impression of a lawyer was someone who was straight and tough and clear. Well, I am, but I also can be emotional and intuitive and empathetic, which is something I am…. It makes me whole as a person.” For those who are on the edge of their journey, wearing many hats with all the responsibilities they bear, or just looking for inspirational voice for building your world the way you feel whole, have a listen as Valentine and German artist Leila Angelina Freiburg discuss her journey toward becoming… “My pictures tell stories visually. Stories of vulnerability, strength, emotions and personal growth. Every picture is a journey and a very intense, personal process. For me, painting is like an intensive, loving conversation about the big topics in life.” #artsisterspodcast #arttalk #artconnectwomen #artconnectsociety #voicesofwomen #bellavalentinaart #leilaangelinafreiburg @artconnectwomen @artsisterspodcast @bellavalentinaart @leila.angelina.art www.artconnectsociety.com

What a beautiful world through the eyes of our friend Veronika from Mikro Teatro… “Our performances are spontaneous and interactive, co-created with the audience, who become not an audience but central part of the experience. We become like a family for a time and it’s so wonderful.” As Veronika talked about the performances she undertakes where ever she’s invited, schools, community and cultural spaces, even children’s bedrooms, you can see the sense of wonder and joy. That sparkle of imagination in her eye ready to embark on a journey unfolding like the peeling layers of her dress, a work of art itself, leading a discovery of animals and treasures hidden within. An unfolding of a dreamlike experience, yet so raw and tactile. We are delighted that @mikro.teatro will be a contributor to the cultural program for our Safe Spaces project. You can expect more information in the coming months about the interactive performances for children. You won’t want to miss this.

“This image is both gentle and strong to me. It carries the energy of rose flowers and seems so beautifully harmonious to me. I am very interested in how to create harmony and beauty? I'm still looking for that, and maybe it's actually a constant search and balancing.” Klara Šiška @_klara_siska_ I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this evocative piece in person and it’s truly difficult to divert your gaze. There’s something magical about it which draws you in… Can you feel it here too? Maybe even better to contact Klara for a personal viewing? She has a beautiful collection prepared at the moment so don’t miss it. 😉 Xx Valentine #artconnectwomen #artistcommunity #artconnectsociety #womenwhopaint #voicesofwomen #paintingoftheday
“Born and raised in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, I have always been surrounded by a rich cultural heritage and a deep appreciation for art. Emigrating and settling in the UK, I now consider both countries my home, feeling fortunate to have connections and loved ones in both places. Though this dual identity brings me great joy, I also grapple with a constant longing for the other half of my heart.” Our community member, Lenka putting in to words that simultaneous sense of love and loss often felt by our multinational, expat members. Can you relate? I’ve frequently discussed this challenge of leaving a place and never being able to return or fit in the same manner, even among dearest friends. Perhaps even more challenging for the deeply affective creative? #artconnectwomen #artconnectsociety #artistcollective #artistcommunity @lenka_daviesova_art #artistlife #womenartists
NEW EPISODE IS OUT! Join Valentine and inspiring Dutch artist Ellen Holleman as they unpack small but mighty steps toward a more conscious practice and living. ↪️swipe to catch a mini-auditory preview too 😉 In their fun and inspiring conversation, they explore differences in environmental factors, some practical steps for making incremental sustainability shifts in the studio, the concept of doing the least harm, presenting visual narratives in a way that open dialogue from a non-judgemental, wonder, perspective, even the ways that how we move about the world foster different types of engagement and attitudes toward and with life and living.

Oh my goodness, doesn’t my face say it all? 😂 Artists? Creatives? Why a community of women, mothers, caregivers? Isn’t it difficult to navigate personalities, differing cultures, class, race, experience? I get this question a lot. Well, I believe this diversity is our golden opportunity. A source of power, where we can learn through community and shared experience. I posit the result of such engagement leads to a dramatic shift in individual and collective health and deeper, truly rich connection… For example, how we handle our interpersonal connections, our openness about our shared experience can lift us beyond what we imagined possible. I believe that when we lift the veil we provide the space to feel seen, nurtured, and grow. How can your other find you, if they can not see you? I am truly grateful for my friends who have been this for me time and time again, there are so many but I want to send particular gratitude to Lexi, Aurelia, Stephanie, Gemma, Annemiek, Michelle, Caroline, Dorothy, Avneet, all those who came with us from Brno and these two beautiful women by my side tonight, Andrea & Paulina for seeing each other through what may have been dark days, but turned to deep understanding and connection. I am left truly hopeful and I send hope for each of you that you may find your other in your moments of need too. Sometimes all we need is permission to be vulnerable, to open the lines of communication in a safe space so here I am, inviting you to join us… Now, It’s up to you to write the story… With love and gratitude, Valentine With love and gratitude, Valentine Founder & Director @ArtConnectWomen Photo cred @lenkalojkova #bellavalentinaart #artconnectwomen #artconnectsociety #valentinesvihalek #safespacescz #acsbellas
The Role of Woman and the expectations placed on them. As the world changes, inevitably each of us changes with it and within. Inside its vortex, how we navigate remains up to us. Is it possible to embrace ourselves and our roles fully while keeping it all going? Gentlemen Prefer Blondes invites you to explore, consider, connect. Imagine, what if we all dared a bit more to live as our truest selves? With love, Andrea, Valentine, Paulina Welcome to our upcoming Exhibition: GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES at DUDES & BARBIES GALLERY PRAGUE 📍Vnitroblock, Tusarova 31, 170 00 Praha 7 (Prague, Czech Republic) 📆 September 14, 2023 🕰 7 PM 🎨VALENTINE SVIHALEK @bellavalentinaart 🎨 ANDREA EHRET @andreacircles 🎨 PAULINA REE @adiosaslasfresas #visualart #artprague #dudesandbarbiesgallery #contemporaryartist #femaleartistsoslo #artconnectsociety
The encouragement when announcing artworks that were not selected for a prize or grant,matter because the journey itself is a difficult one. Thank you @hopperprize team for the opportunities created for artists, thank you for taking the time to use kind words to explain about the selection process and for using words that contribute to my dedication and perseverance in a positive way. I am determined to work hard for my art practice and to do so with the love and understanding of my three children. They look up to me with love and give me so much support. I am grateful. #femaleartistsolso #artqueens #visualartist #figurativepainting #artconnectsociety

Got this beauty stretched and framed today ! 93x 30 inches ! Awesome ! Is nt it ? Not yet unpacked .. Swipe to see some details of this ! This forms part of the SEASONS series ! I attempted to capture the immense beauty of Nature in this series ! As I always think that Nature is a metaphor in my art wherein I am desperately holding on to the rejuvenating power of Nature to assure myself that inspite of all the miseries, wars,destruction around us ,so far as i can experience Nature and different seasons throughout the year in their glory ,i can feel assured and hopeful of future .. . That not all is lost ! There are still wonderful people on this planet ! There is ART and artists,music and musicians , books and authors who believe in Life ,love ,goodness of humans and take the responsibility of putting beauty ( satyam,Shivam,sundaram) centrestage ! Amen! #abstract #abstractexpressionism #abstractexpressionist #abstractpromotor #joanmitchell #contemporaryartist #originalart #womenpainter #contemporaryartcurator #artforchange #artoftheday #interiordesigners #artforyourhome #neenasingh #neenasinghart #modernart #modernpainting #artcollector #artconnectsociety #artforinteriors #artcurator #abstractlounge #abstractlovers #abstractlandscape #abstractart #originalpainting #boldcolors #bigpainting #abstract #lyricalabstraction
I could complete this after many a gruelling ,frustrating sessions ! I feel that more often than not it is not the outcome but the process of engaging with creating something is of utmost important. I may not like the final outcome ,but I always feel gratitude for the meditative act of painting .The hours that i spend thinking, looking,reading, imagining,dreaming about the art ..those hours are my reward ,,rest all is incidental to the process of creation .. creating art has the potential to put beauty back into the weary world .That in itself is a way of making amends of reconciling us with the world ..i am on this beautiful planet for a short while .and therefore I have no time for any negativity or cynicism.My art has become a vehicle to reject any such thoughts . #artist #art #artist'sjourney #abstractart #originalpainting #landscape #abstractlandscape #abstractexpressionism #abstractexpressionist #contemoporaryart #artcurator #abstractpromotor #artistscollborations #artforchange #artoftheday #artoninstagram #neenasingh #neenasinghart #naturepaintings #artforinteriors #artconnectwomen #artconnectsociety #joanmitchellfoundation #joanmitchell #artforyourhome #artlovers #abstractted #abstractpainting #artdealers #artcollectors
