“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
Aleksandra Ilić Bjelica — Bela, an artist and painter, studied and researched organization, psychology, communications, and art history. Although she spent nearly two decades in the “business world” across three continents, her focus has always been on people. She encourages open communication and partnerships, believing support and collaboration are the keys to success. Aleksandra truly enjoys listening to the life stories of those dear to her, and then she captures their authenticity on canvas to create a reminder and a trophy of their priceless value and personal achievements.
Painting with her eyes closed, guided by movement liberated through dance, she lets pure emotion flow through her fingers onto the canvas. She has exhibited in galleries in New York, Illinois, Michigan, Serbia, and Croatia, bringing together people from diverse professions and all corners of the world. By connecting smart partnerships, she laid the foundation for her artistic entrepreneurial venture, which she has successfully developed for eight years. Her paintings reside in many homes across America, Canada, Europe, and Asia as symbols of friendship, which she considers her greatest professional achievement.
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 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 big decisions. My art inspires a rhythm that flames our inner spark, so we can talk with an open mind, and build 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.
