Acrista Art projects in progress
In a search for more depth, contemplativeness and focus, and generally a slower and more aware lifestyle, this year everything seems to be happening more slowly with me, somehow inertly and less „visibly“. In these times I am working on two really long and slow projects… A total redesign of the acrista.com website: the aim is for the site to become an actual online gallery, where you could directly purchase original artworks or order prints, and have them delivered anywhere you want. You will be able to log in to your personal account and track your orders, your cumulative discount and lots more.So far we have a ready graphic design…

Under pressure
The last couple of days I realized that this year it’s been ten years (!) since (like so many others) I hooked on the obsession called social networks. Ten years! So many different behaviors appeared, such crazy habits were created… Lately alongside the subject of minimalism which I increasingly recognize as my own, I try to look (on my newsfeed) from a distance, not to succumb to the massive turning into zombies (what was your year in facebook, holly crap). And since I’ve been feeling a long-established tendency for a while, I want to explore it a bit. This tendency is about the feeling that above our heads there is…

Minimalism
The more the consumer hysteria and information cacophony around me grow, the more I am interested in the minimalism as a way of life. I recently added the youtube channel of Matt D’Avella and started to return to the ideas of drastic clearing and releasing everything (and I mean everything) unnecessary. This concept has been close to my heart for years. I am one of those OCDs who regularly throw out and rearrange, otherwise I would not be able to function normally. I am a fan of minimalism in architecture, interior, fashion and things in the wardrobe, devices and relationships. I am terrified of the obsession with goods, the compulsive…

A new year – new beginnings
Sooo… a new year, as a blank canvas. What will I paint on it? Who knows? I did not have space to write a post about 2017 (because the last 4 days I bravely ventured in studio repairs), but it was a good year. Saturated. With good and not-so-good days. With precious inner work, with journeys, with learning to say ‘no’, with almost all paintings completed, with wisdom earned the hard way, with a string of minor but adorable moments, with shared ‘ordinary magic’ as a friend named them. I feel grateful for all of them.if there was something I learned during the last years, it was that I could…

Thoughts in front of the fireplace
In front of the fireplace again. After a heady, enthusiastic, but also very tiring week of exhibition opening, meetings and conversations with beautiful people, physical exhaustion from packing and carrying up and down and back and forth of paintings and tons of catalogues, it is time for a well deserved breather. While I am staring at the hypnotizing flames I remember a recent article by Ani about her 101 things to be thankful for from the past year and without conscious intention I start to list mine… They are far from one hundred and one, but they are all beautiful. I am thankful for – the smoking coffee in the…
