Vendula Kalinova is a New York-based artist originating from the Czech Republic. She creates spiritual healing works of art that reflect her holistic approach to art and life. This originates from a wellspring of wisdom, knowledge and experience she has acquired as an artist, healing arts practitioner and certified life coach. In addition, her simplified forms from nature and her modernistic interpretation of Tibetan Buddhist symbolism imbue her “Golden Whispers” series with frequencies of higher consciousness and enlightenment.
As inhabitants in a world so often besieged by conflict, turmoil, and unpredictability, Vendula transports us into visual and visceral realms of solace, tranquility and restoration. As we relax and gaze into her ethereal images, we transcend mental and emotional boundaries and obstacles. Through her art Vendula reminds us it is possible to develop an inner protective shield and navigate life equipped with a sense of quietude, confidence and strength.
Vendula incorporates different styles and art mediums with an arresting proficiency, versatility and innovation. Her series titled “Golden Whispers” is produced in mixed media using interchangeable mediums such as acrylic paint, textiles, plaster, beads, gold foil, candle wax, resin, sand and preserved flowers. This purposeful, multi-layering technique and unique combination of materials provide a myriad tactile surfaces. The luminosity that emanates from the gold leaf and her spacious backgrounds expand visual and cognitive spatial depths.
Furthermore, Vendula’s choice of soft, soothing shades of pink and purple enhances the state of sublime meditation and calms the nerves. These colors are known to be associated with peace, hope, kindness and all things related to the spiritual realm. The color purple, in particular, symbolizes the state of selflessness as it represents oneness with the universe.
Vendula’s art is a cathartic departure from the pervasive and vociferous contemporary works of art that compete for our attention. In contrast, her art serves as a calming, powerful catalyst for our interpretation, introspection and personal growth. As a healing modality it is a perfect choice for our personal spaces and most suitable for healing centers and healthcare facilities.
