My passion for art creation has never changed. The process by which I create art, however, has changed. Art has become less impulsive for me and more about organizing and displaying states of feeling.
I strive to combine personal elements about my life and my life experiences into my art with the intention of illuminating something in the work that resonates with others and leads them to ask why the work was created and what it is about. This creates a current authenticity with respect to the art which in my opinion is what modern art is about: personal identity and things currently identifiable.
Deborah Holowka is a visual artist who lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is a dynamic colourist who, through an intense layering process, combines dry brush techniques with putty knife techniques to render signature qualities in her large scale abstractions. Her art creations transcend the visual where she transfers snapshots of her life experiences and passions onto canvas.
In 2007 she was one of four artists out of 840 exhibiting artists at the Florence Biennale who was chosen by Paul Lorenz for best example of “Abstraction in Painting and Drawing”. Danusha is Deborah’s Ukrainian name and is also the name she uses to sign her paintings. Holowka’s works are published, collected privately and have been commissioned and sold nationally and internationally.
