Luiza Okienczuk
Visual artist
I discovered my interest for fine arts already at the age of 8, thanks to my mom – also artist – who was motivating and supporting me to paint in oil, pencil, and watercolor. At this age, I could even get deeper into the painting skills as I had a great painting teacher. However, due to other priorities, I gave it up for several years.
Currently based in the Canary Islands, this is where the ocean became my daily inspiration and I was so happy to be able to get back to my childhood’s passion – the Oil Painting.
My favorite themes are water, wildlife, and beach because I feel so attracted to the nature. I also love the feeling of being in the water, swimming and floating on the surface and also surfing, that was the inspiration for many of my paintings.
Everyday I’m so grateful to live close to the nature and to be able to do what I love.
