Colors and Kindness

Czechoslovakia, Europe

As a little girl growing up in a orphanage  for nearly twenty years,  filled with abuse, mistreatment, bias, and the struggle for mental and physical endurance, an experience that seemed unfathomable, a kind old man once advised me not to fear colors. I was probably about seven when he visited. Though he wasn’t there to do any harm, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, even though we had never met before. Our meeting was short, but it made a lasting impact on me.

As they say, the Universe works in mysterious ways. When I moved to Canada and visited the Homer Watson Gallery, I was immediately drawn to it. The statue of Homer Watson caught my attention from the back corner of the room. I felt compelled to approach it and as I got closer, I couldn't look away. His features were just as elegant, loving, and familiar as the ones from my childhood memory. The words "Don't be afraid of colors" took on a new significance for me.

My journey as an artist began in 2018, despite having no formal training. I've always been drawn to colors and emotions, using them to express myself in a way that my words cannot. Painting became my thing because it allows me to see the beautiful, the meaningful, and the interesting I can share with others. And that is the real beauty of all. To share. I wouldn't necessarily call myself an artist; instead, I see myself as an observer, a deep thinker, trying to connect dots together.

If you find my paintings beautiful, then simply put, THANK YOU.

Yours,

EvaNali
