Guardian Angel (2006) Painting by Timea Tóthová

I am an artist from Slovakia - but nationally Hungarian. I live in a small, craft-trading town in south-eastern Slovakia, in Moldava nad Bodvou. It existed 12 centuries ago, although the current outlook does not correspond to this - but I feel in my bones that it is different than it seems :-)Beautiful and still relatively pure nature surrounds it .. nearby are forests and meadows, lakes and rivers .. in nature you will find medicinal herbs, seasonal mushrooms, and if you are quiet so bunnies and deer can surprise you.I must also mention the mansions, castles, manors that do not forget the time, history, and culture that has been created here. I grew up in such a rich environment ... and that is what has influenced and will still affect my soul and thus my work ..Like any child, I have been observing my surroundings since I was a child. Gradually, I imitated by drawing, exploring the surrounding world. But my art teacher warned me not to stop here. She did not fall into the enchanting pit by leveling, copying the real world. People acknowledge what is real, but we see more ... and we want to show more, say - paint. not only to mirror and understand the world, but also to feel and ripple with it. Show beauty, uniqueness, love and playfulness.Good and evil. And without condemnation.
