Inspiration
Selma’s artistic inspiration stems from both the inner and outer worlds. She is deeply influenced by emotions, thoughts, imagination, and the subconscious—those invisible forces that shape our inner lives. At the same time, her work reflects the beauty and complexity of the world around her: nature, environments, people, and the events that leave a mark on us. Through her art, Selma explores the interplay between what we feel and what we see, creating visual narratives that invite reflection, connection, and wonder.
Selma is primarily self-taught, with a naturally creative mind and a deep appreciation for beauty and expression. While she has attended a handful of art courses to explore specific techniques, her painting practice has developed organically through intuition, experimentation, and a lifelong curiosity for the creative process. Her work reflects a hands-on, emotional, and playful approach.
Selma works primarily with acrylics on canvas, often combining bold brushstrokes with layered textures and organic forms. Her process is intuitive and emotionally driven, allowing each piece to evolve naturally. She embraces imperfection, spontaneity, and playfulness as core elements of her technique, creating work that invites both feeling and imagination.
Selma’s painting process is a dynamic blend of intention, emotion, and spontaneity. While she often begins with a loose idea or vision in mind, she allows feeling and imagination to shape the final outcome. Inspiration is drawn from everyday life—what she sees, hears, and experiences—often captured in the sketchbook she always carries with her. Her process is intuitive yet grounded, guided by a conversation between thought and instinct, where playfulness and emotional depth coexist on the canvas.
