The magic of pencil on paper
A song of silence,
A dance with shadows,
A moment without time.
Symona Colina
Born in Ridderkerk the Netherlands in 1954.
Participated in a number of exhibitions in several countries;the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, Spain, Belgium, England, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France ...
"I am a visual artist who captures a different horizon in that deep sound I hear when I read intensely between the lines... the lines of perspective.
My work is like the wind, perceiving perspective.
A perspective which touches and surrounds me, and in its essence forms the source of my work and sparkles in endless interfaces.
Composing with the shades of rainbow-light...
Brushes in my hand, weaving lines and tunes into the shades...
Words strung like beads on a string fall featherlight on a thin surface...
A song to see...
Rainbow-light grows into whispered words of a high-pitched Rhapsody...
A song to see."
