"I feel lucky, because I was born with an ability that makes my life complete. I think a painting needs to meet only one criteria. It needs to be pretty. With my paintings I would like to provide an aesthetic experience. My goal is that my creations are nice to look at, that they cause pleasant emotions and radiate harmony. Concerning my artwork the most important opinions come from those who have already seen my productions. It interests me if its pleasing or not, if its nice to stand in awe for minutes on end or instead I move on. The birth of a painting always reflects a moments worth of my spiritual state of mind. It shows what I am like, what my personality is like, and my inner world. I always paint myself in the from of a landscape, still-life, or other subject mather. Its a feeling from within that I paint. As I paint I am constanty filled. I would like to give this filling through my paintings as well as lots of love which I always receive. This is me. A person who lives and paints according to her values. I feel happy, satisfied and good in my own skin. I love to paint." Karola Kiss © 2013 Kiss Karola (karolart.hu) |
