About Emilia
"My paintings are visual journal entries of thoughts and experiences in everyday life."
"The majority of my paintings are not planned, they are just a matter of persisting until something of interest tranquilises my spirit. Underneath the beauty of a simple, common flower lies its will to live. And it is a cyle of life, change and rebirth."
"Consider this: we are all the same!"
"The flowers are close to my hand, my mind, and my eyes and I include them in my dream which becomes reality. Does not life and fate somehow always call us to the impossible by finding blessings and losses, for better in the long run?"
"This opens up the possibility for lived experiences to be both creative and transforming. Like all of this, we do have the possibility to transform what has been created by the Creator!"
"There is no doubt that beautiful surroundings provide us with a favourite environment that helps us thrive. Flowers are an elementary and affordable way to add a splash of colour and emotion into my life."
