My Story: From Word to Colour


                                                    
                                                 
                                                                                             


I've always loved great writers. And even the quiet, lesser-known ones who could spark my imagination and draw me into their world.

But painters... painters captured my heart. I used to pause breathless in front of their work, even in books or online. Their art felt like magic - like they were born with a gift of catching a moment of time, light or emotion and leaving it behind for us to feel.

When I started painting, I just wanted to learn how to copy. Then, I wanted to bring out the landscapes I carried inside me. And slowly, I started trying to say something with colour - something silent, something real.

There's something unreal about disappearing into the quiet while a painting is born. I only hope that something personal in my work might touch someone else.

What about you - how do paintings speak to you?

🎁  “Girl in the Shallows – A Gift and a Conversation”   Painting and Emotion Gift from the Artist Winston Churchill as a Painter Holding a paintbrush is like entering a hidden room in the mind. Only colors and imagination know the way in. And once there, in that silence, images appear that are more than just pictures — they are feelings. A girl in the shallows, back turned, gazing toward the horizon.  The sea is silent.  She is too. And somehow, in that shared silence, a conversation begins.   As one Croatian poet wrote: "... I watch the sea as it climbs toward me, and I listen — good morning, it says. And it listens to me, as I whisper, good morning, sea, I say softly..."   Painting of the Month: “Girl in the Shallows” (oil on canvas)                        Some paintings don't want to speak out loud. They whisper. They stand still, turned away from the world, waiting… to be felt. Maybe...

Each painting is a trace of light caught in passing - perhaps you will find yout own.     Svaka slika je trag svjetla uhvaćenog u prolazu - možda pronađete svoj.   DOBRODOŠLI!  U ovom prostoru boje govore tišinom. Ovdje slike nisu samo slike - one u tragovi trenutaka uhvaćenih u prolazu, zrnca svjetla u svakodnevnici, svjedočanstva tihe radosti i čežnje za ljepotom. Vjerujem da svaki potez kistom može prenijeti ono što riječi ne uspiju. Da platno može čuvati ono neizrečeno- pogled, sjećanje, mir. Možda ćete prepoznati nešto svoje u ovim bojama. Možda vas neki kadar podsjeti da je život, usprkos svemu, čudesan. Da ima Svjetlo. I  smisao.  Zastanite. Udahnite. Gledajte polako.  Ako poželite pitati nešto, javite mi se - volim razgovore koji nastaju iz gledanja. Dobrodošli u moj svijet slika i tišine. Dobrodošli u trag svjetla. -  A n Skal  wherecoloursdance@gmail.com
