Hello, I’m Petra

Art is a way of life. It requires discipline and a willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown. But the rewards are infinite.

I make art because it helps me to achieve this meditative state of white noise relaxed state in my mind. I make art because it is the only thing that makes me truly happy from the inside. I make art because it is where I belong.

Petra is an artist who has been drawing for as long as she can remember. Even before she could walk, she was scribbling on anything she could get her hands on. Her passion for drawing only grew as she got older. She still has a picture of the princess that she drew when she was 4 years old.

Everyone told her that artists were poor and that she would be hungry. For years, she secretly drew and honed her talent. Although she turned to computer science, she continued to improve her knowledge of painting through different painting schools. And she got a job in an IT company.

Regardless of her knowledge of IT, she continues to nurture her artistic talent. Little by little, she discovers techniques that she has not encountered yet and experiments with her talent . She hopes to learn to work with oil paints and airbrush soon. She flirts with abstraction, while at the same time perfecting the techniques she has learned so far. Her goal is to improve her knowledge, but she focuses more on her creativity and finding her artistic expression.
