My love for beauty comes from living in Canada surrounded by mountains , lakes , sky , fields and forest . Nature inspires me . I love her changing colours , random designs , luminosity and infinite space . My aim as a painter is to capture natural beauty – not by painting landscapes or sunsets ; rather by painting the essence of nature using abstract elements of pure colour , light , texture and space . Lightness and darkness mirror who I am . I am both conscious and unconscious . Light and dark are metaphors for ignorance and enlightenment . Light elicits a primordial instinct of survival , safety and hope . Light makes me happy . Light removes fear of the unknown . Darkness is equally profound . Darkness evokes stillness , mystery and timeless infinity . Darkness is the womb of creation . Darkness comforts my eyes and lets me rest . When I paint relationships of light and dark I am expressing my emotional , philosophical and spiritual Truth .

In my creative work I frequently ask questions about perception of reality . My focus is on the relationship between objective and subjective sensual perception , and the role of consciousness and intuition in this process . I investigate this relationship in constant progress of things , which causes continuous confrontation of what we see and feel versus HOW we remember and present it . We recall and remember things in a variety of forms and at different times , and subjectively “ colour ” them . Whether consciously or not . This “ colouring ”, or dualism of things is my essential focus that informs my creative activities . This implies constant confrontation and inevitable incursion into the social sphere and its condition that I also describe and document in my works .

... it is all about dance and the beauty of a dancing female body . But also the efforts a woman has to make in order to achieve that status defined as " PRIMA "

Rada Yakova is a Holland based visual artist . She builds her paintings up through layers of freehand emotional brushstrokes . Rather than planning the work in advance , she works intuitively and with lots of emotion .

The main goal of her artworks has not been just creating paintings in beautiful shapes and colours , rather creating works of art , which reflect and show a certain stand in society . Yakova ’ s works are presented at several Art Fairs around the world , such as Art Santa Fe , AAF Amsterdam and others . She has exhibited and sold work in the United States and Europe .

As an architect by training and an artist by practice , I see myself as a conceptual space maker , fascinated by the poetics of immersive spaces . My art practice concentrates on the production of environments that challenge the visitors ’ perception of space as related to the triplet of mind-body-surroundings . In my work , I use architectural elements , physical objects , immaterial components , video , drawing , and photography to create site-specific situations and immersive events . I contextualise my practice , which examines the reception of sensations and the creation of affects , through theories of neuroaesthetics and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Brian Massumi , with a focus on the concept of event . I believe that space gives us its atmosphere and we give back our affects . Our expe-riences are temporal journeys of mood , memory and emotion . We sense and feel . We feel and think . We think and respond . We respond and create .

Even though it is still a bald My work is derived from artistic decision I create very the confusion and distrust classical art pieces . I am hoping about the perceptions of to build a new movement of surrounding objects that European art modeling itself were engendered by my after Dutch , Flemish , Spanish and Italian schools . Bringing physical and psychological together and reawakening experiences of enthusiasm for the Old Masters displacement . Our work and the urgent need for perceptions are certainly renewed reverence for reality , limited : we see a lot of by bringing back skills and things everyday , but we spirit of the pre-impressionist sense only part of them , painters . My desire is to remind not their entirety . Though a the audience we carry as figure definitely exists , we human beings emotions , memory and dream . There are cannot discern its essence ,

things in life that unite people . as if we are trapped in a Art seems to be universal : certain mode of viewing . feeling , color , our sensory The memories become reaction to it . I create visual art distorted , and of perfect workshop , without chronological order is falling back on experiment just broken . I am interested in for exercising experiment . this distinction and There is so much evil and distortion between ugliness nowadays , that I would like everybody looking at my experience and memory

paintings to associate them and the way I perceive with feelings of beauty and them in my nomadic good only . That is why women situations . I strive to evoke are my favorite painting the interaction between objects . I try to show their personal memories and the beauty and endless mystery by desire to link personal means of chiaroscuro , where elements into a shared light always wins , just like good human experience . overcomes evil .
