Exhibition of Ilva Ievāne's paintings "Peace, light, love"
Fantastic art therapy - fluid art (acrylic pouring)
The origins of Fluid Art come from Mexico in the 1930s, when the Mexican artist Dávids Alfaro Sigueiros discovered this technique in his studio, which he described as "accidental painting". This "accidental" painting technique also influenced other great artists. Sigueiros and his "accidental painting" were an example of what we call acrylic casting today.
In my life, light and its colors, which have life force, play a very important role. Seven colors of the rainbow, seven chakras, energy and human vibrations leading to meditation… The deepest meaning of meditation is inner transformation – to change yourself in order to change the world, to become a better person in order to better serve others. In this way, the most noble goals are set in my life. Meditation is about consciously expanding yourself. It means recognizing or discovering your true self. It is through meditation that I overcome limitation, imperfection and dependence. What do I gain from meditation first and foremost? Peace - nothing else. Peace is the beginning of love. Peace is the fulfillment of truth. Meditation is like a bird's wings - always spread in Peace, Light and Love.
May the variety and flow of color tones lead you to self-discovery, improvement and enrichment of your soul.
Many beautiful moments and memories are associated with Mammammītis and Pappa (that's how all 8 grandchildren called their grandparents) on the Lower Village side.
The smell of baked bread, beautifully decorated cakes, honey frames and the aroma of wax, hemp butter and pea cakes... Hay and potato taluks with rakes and wicker baskets made by Pappa... In the long winter evenings, the looms, spinning carts and bobbins placed in the big room, drawings of ethnographic patterns, colorful for balls of yarn and spools of thread. Summers were unimaginable without Mammammīte's beloved flower beds, where the colorful swords of gladioli, the round and winged balls of dahlias lay in endless rows.
The charming nuances of colors, the beauty of nature and flowers, art and design, the diversity of handicrafts have gradually entered my life. Sons have been brought up, moments spent with grandchildren, more than 30 years of teaching work, so many good and creative children, bright, open-hearted people and art advisors have been met. Many thanks to my parents who have loved and supported me.
All this together has shaped my personality and colored my life.
In free time, poetry is read, danced, painted, and fragments of flowers decorate silk and felt scarves.
