Eya Ozerova

I was born as an artist and I am all my life. My first memories in the life are the pictures of the ideal beautiful

patterns - now I can say sacred geometry - of whatever I saw, where every detail was in harmonious perfect relationship to whole. Very early I discovered that my vision is a gift which always balances and brings harmony around me. Since 20 years old I was teaching art and learned early that art-making benefits people and my energy inspires them. I became more and more interested in the topic that art is like a magic - it heals us and transforms the world around us. For more than 15 years I am doing my workshops, inspiring people and believing that everyone has an artist within. It brings me so much joy and makes me full. My students mostly are not artists. during my classes they play with woolly colours on a surface of felt and could see and even touch the inner beauty which is usually stays unnoticed - it changes their perception of themselves and life itself. I believe that we are coming to this world to be a joyful artists and creators, and the time for this happy world is already came through.
