JOHANNA ORAS, artist

How an artist works is an eternal mystery. It is associated with an enormous number of beliefs, tales, mystic and legendary stories.

The moment when an idea breaks through and begins to take form in thoughts and then bursts on to the white canvas is always a miracle. The amount of emotion and energy is dizzying, unbelievable. A divine experience.

There is a passionate dialogue between me and my creation, my painting. The atelier turns into a birthplace of scenes, debates, sparkles, carnivals, drama and ecstasy. In my atelier I have many paintings, many dialogues, on the make, in different phases of work as if waiting for their turn. I feel how blood rushes from head to hand and from hand to head. The stream of energy is immeasurable… And how I rejoice in the trace of the brush moving on the smooth surface of the canvas!

Now I want to take you to the world that only a painting can lead you to. Let this world wrap you in dreams, new miracles where only heaven is the limit. I want my paintings to give you a touch of romance, thoughts of life, dizzying adventures, playful moments with a twinkle in the eye and souls’ symphony.
