Karolina Travnikar

I am a painter who, from an early age, has sought ways to escape this overly dense world and to merge with my surroundings in order to remain accepted. Life, however, has continuously taught me to listen to my highly sensitive, emotional, and perceptive body, and to give it a safe space to express itself in all the colours I carry within me. For me, art is a way for me, as a soul, to express itself through matter. In colours, forms, and imprints of light, I carry information that goes beyond words.

For me, paintings are not merely decoration, even though they carry visual beauty. I feel that the works that come through me originate from a space that is not entirely of this world where one meets oneself without roles, without defence, and without the need for validation.

The animal world is strongly present in my life. Their energetic messages continuously guide me through both personal and collective transformations, which are often reflected on the canvas. I am also inspired by sacred spaces within us, which, although they rarely use words, have a great deal to say.

In my creative process, I am guided primarily by trust in something greater than ourselves and by trust in the information I receive through my perception into my field.

As an artist, I am most motivated by new beginnings and by moments when everything already feels “perfect.” The blank canvas offers me the opportunity to challenge my inner perfectionist by allowing acrylic inks to create a free and intuitive foundation for the further process. When I feel guided, I add words and symbols that support the energetic essence of the painting.

My true love is oil paint, which, with its density, viscosity, and natural pigments, gives my work depth. The transition from abstract, chaotic states into refined composition, harmony, and beauty arises primarily from my subconscious processes and my need for clarity. The visible initial layers within the painting, along with traces of poetry, offer the viewer an insight into the inner world, the intimate space of the soul.

Alongside my painterly exploration, music has accompanied me for as long as I can remember, activating me physically, moving me from within. Singing and the opening of space through sound and vibration have always been part of my creative world. In 2025, my partner and I opened the doors to Eternal Sound- sound journeys that awaken our inner knowing and bring us closer to truth and source. That same year, I completed my studies at the School of Akashic Records, which helped me deepen my intuition and strengthen my inner voice. These gifts I now share through guided meditations, visualizations, and activations  with the intention of helping others find their origin and remember who they truly are.

I paint to open space. For you, for me, for all of us to move, to remember, and to breathe again what we truly are.
