“Magical Journey through Dreams to Reality”

is a visual travelling in my imaginations
instinctive adventure between unconscious and conscious, jumping into the unknown... sometimes you can fly and feel your wings in this big play of chess called life... sometimes you fall, hit the ground and get broken open and have to find the strength
to be reborn from the dust, illuminate in darkness and persevere...
to create light much stronger than the shadow... to build up a new beginning...
and then magic happens... and you can fly again...

Welcome to Ieva Bluma visual B/W Galaxy of imaginations and mind.

When I create, I like to disconnect from reality around me and take adventure trip inside myself to discover the unknown through a world of pictures. It’s like connecting with stronger power in the Universe and searching deep in my own visual galaxy. It’s a meditative process, being present and instinctive in the moment and via drawing and painting creating an innovative and surprising visual story.

Strong composition and drawing is very important in my images, to create shapes and forms in harmony and contradiction with each other, like a melody — artistic search through many layers and details becomes a mysterious process, rich and unspoken. Intellect and emotions dance in symbiosis. I have classical educational background in art and I like to use those skills in my abstract performance.

Visual search for the deepest answers to my deepest questions in ambiguity within, finding my own truth... playing with contrasts is essential in my art. Human universe is very connected to nature. When the Sun shines brightly and light illuminates the most, the shadow gets bigger too... we can never escape our own shadow... only if we fly...

The strongest people are also often the most vulnerable...

It is fascinating to work with B/W imagery again — the biggest contrasts which allow me to explore the ultimate power of imagery through shapes, forms, details, simplicity and richness. Even if pictures are B/W, they have very colourful stories. click to see collection
