“Bela Aleksandra develops her artistic practice at the intersection of contemporary abstraction, philosophy, and embodied experience. She is always evolving and reinventing herself.” – Luciana Barilari Bullentini, Vivace Co
“Inspired by meaningful interactions with others through conversation and the sharing of different points of view, she composes works that represent a constant search for awareness of unique individual essence. She feels a great sense of freedom when painting and hopes to transmit this feeling to the viewer.” – Singulart

My Way
I have been learning and working, hard and smart, on the Art of Relationships for 20 years. I systematically approached this challenge by studying various scientific disciplines- psychology, communication, organization, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and art history.
My profession, Organizational Engineering, is based on interactive communications and business partnership enrichment. I led and participated in the establishment and development of organizations and projects, get connected with smart business people, and worked with international companies and organizations, as an employee and an entrepreneur, always encouraging open communication, cooperation, and partnerships.
I moved from Serbia to America 10 years ago. Additionally, the challenges and transformations that came with my journey of motherhood, joined with my constant need for exploring the new and unknown, inspired me to brighten a new field where I can communicate with open honesty with myself and with the world.
While I move forward with breaking the limits of life circumstances, I learn to respect, cherish, and challenge further my potential and passions. I finally found the courage to be entirely honest and respectful with myself, and I changed the direction of my career path from business to the art world.
I desire to paint a space that is an open field of motivation and courage for others to do the same in their own way.
I paint a space for deep thinking where we feel free to explore and connect with our true selves, so we can find the rest we need to make informed decisions. My art inspires a rhythm that fuels our inner spark, allowing us to communicate with an open mind and build meaningful relationships with others when we are honest with ourselves.
Moreover, I use my paintings as a filter to connect with brave people who are ready to search further on how we can set free our true nature.
