Hi, my name is Ivana and this is my story…

As a quiet and shy child, I often found it hard to express myself with words and I often felt like black sheep. In my teenage years, I discovered a world of calm and understanding through art. Whether I was painting or creating home decor pieces for my room, art became my sanctuary, a place to dream, to escape, and to truly be myself. Though I’m introverted by nature, I’ve always loved connecting with people. I love listening to people’s stories, and I have been told many times that I have a way of making others feel at ease – like they’ve known me forever.

So, why textured art? My journey begins with my love for geology, a passion I’ve held since i was 18. From the moment I discovered the wonders of the Earth, there was no doubt: I wanted to be a geologist and nothing else. I pursued my dream wholeheartedly, mastering geology and even fulfilling a lifelong wish to visit Mexico, a land of breathtaking landscapes and geological marvels. Mexico changed me. Its vibrant beauty, raw nature and culture gave me a sense of belonging and inspired me to bring more texture, depth, and emotion into my art.

Much like nature itself, textured art tells a story, layered and complex, yet full of beauty. Its rich surfaces bring a sense of depth and sophistication, elevating any space with timeless elegance. Additionally, custom made textured art adds an exclusive touch, making every piece a luxurious reflection of your unique style and story.

I hope my art becomes a cherished part of both your home and heart.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share a piece of my world with you.
