Writing and painting have become my prayer and my meditation.

Ingrid Beatrice Coman

I am a writer. I write novels, short stories and inspirational narrative.

The strange thing is that I have always written “in images”; my writing is a series of descriptive passages and my metaphors are in the form of visualized beauty. When I first approached Art, a couple of years ago, it felt so familiar, like a secret garden I had already known but I never dared to enter. Now they are completing each other in such a wonderful way.

Writing and painting have become my prayer and my meditation.

Together they make my spiritual journey and my path home.

My favorite artists are William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Michelangelo, and Titian.

I think the “contemporary old master” is David Gray – because of his amazing capacity of flowing with the old techniques in a new way.

My main challenges in art are drawing and anatomy. I have to study them more as I often get lost there.

I would like to learn the technique of the "light within", through which light is being reflected through several layers of transparent colour.

I also want to know how can I transfer all that amount of knowledge into my fingertips and my brushes? 🙂

I wanted to find an answer to my deepest desires and passions. Fine Art sometimes looks like an unreachable Fata Morgana somewhere out there. But through your courses I have realized that the distance between me and my dream is not measured in meters, but in hours of hard work.
