Alice Laputka
No matter whether I am painting representationally or abstractly, I feel it is important to paint from life in order to better understand what things look like but also to experience the location, to feel the wind, the sun, the heat, the cold, hear the sounds and even smell the scents. A painting should be more than just a photo-like copy of the scene. It needs to express what the artist is experiencing.My paintings transform nature’s fleeting beauty into a healing dialogue between self and world.
