Gratitude

Abella Orun

My cultural activities cover a wider range, starting from poetry, prose, photo, culinary art and lyrics for songs. The activity in the field of painting, I started it in 2019, painting in chocolate, through the illustrations for my books. Then, I created a series of works that include both paintings and painted sneakers, candles and accessories, which emphasize sensitivity and imagination. My artistic, visual projects are made with different techniques and methods, combining the classic with the modern. I work mainly with watercolor and acrylic paints, in order to bring man closer to his divine essence, to nature, to his fellow man, and to create warm, unique reverberations in the souls of those who connect with my art. All the cultural activities I have approached throughout my life have helped me to diversify my style of painting and to have a multi-angle approach. For me, seeing beyond appearances, putting my own vision on a medium, is a sum of approaches, like a river that receives tributaries in order to be. My participation in various international group exhibitions, the books in which my works were used as illustrations, reflects my sincere intention, stemming from my heart, to present to the world parts of my soul connected to the whole of creation.
