I Cavalieri dell'arte sfogliabile

Ivana Dolejs
Cavaliere dell’arte
Biografia
I was born in 1961 in the Czech
Republic. I live and create in Prague.
My talent for abstract work was
discovered by my professor for
creative education in Gymnasium, but
I did not engage in painting outside of
the school. I was strongly devoted to
literary activity especially writing
poetry at that time.
“Humbleness” Ivana Dolejs
I completed my studies in economy,
and until thirty three years of age I
was employed as a financial clerk.
During this time I fulfiled my
creativity mostly in fashion. I
designed dresses for me and for my
friends.
To paint I started when I was nearly thirty six years old, during my
maternity, when I together with my three years old daughter created colour
aquarelle abstracts. And at that time I experienced for the first time that
strange, mysterious force, which literally led my hand. Since then the painting
became an unseparable part of my life, and the meaning of it too.
I work with my subconscious, intuition. With the use of imagination by
music and of meditation I penetrate into the unconscious.
