Main Gallery
The Main Gallery presents a curated selection of original contemporary abstract paintings by Bela Aleksandra. Each artwork emerges from a tactile, layered process where material, intuition, and ancient symbolic memory meet. These paintings are created as spaces of pause, depth, and resonance, intended for collectors and environments that value presence, authenticity, and long-term artistic value.
SUSTAINING GROUND – Where structure holds softness
The textural paintings emerged as wall-based sculptures, formed through the layering of material that flows down the fingers, gentle like a heartbeat, yet steady enough to carry memory. The traces left within the material speak of relationship, of presence, of time that is lost the moment it is rushed.
These works carry the quality of a foundation. Within every groove lives a memory of the currents that shape us. They speak of a strength that does not press, but holds. Of a depth that does not seek explanation, yet carries both weight and tenderness within the same palm.
Vinča wisdom in this cycle appears not as a symbol, but as a principle. Stability here arises from rootedness. Structure becomes the ground that holds softness. As energetic maps, these paintings bring a sense of safety and gathered presence into space. The space remembers them, just as it remembers silence, presence, and time that has been allowed to endure.

Cycle of Continuum Paintings – Supported Surrender to the Flow
Alongside the textural works, a cycle of paintings emerged in which I allowed color to move freely. Just as water on Earth gives rise to forms of life and beauty, color in these works is released to flow, to reflect, to branch, and to leave behind a trace of lightness.
The fluid movement of water and color shapes this cycle. The mark that remains is not the result of control, but of trust in the current. As water in nature does not lose its strength because it is soft, but gains it through adaptability, these paintings speak of the power of ease.
The blue–green and red–orange cycles stand as two attuned energies of the same Vinča truth. Water and fire. Breath and ember. Two elements, two movements, one continuity.
Together with the textural works, they form a whole that invites the viewer not to seek explanation, but to pause. To let the current continue within. To find balance between firmness and ease, between structure and trust in life. To remember what it means to be present, and within that presence, to renew the quiet joy of being.
Synaptic Fields
The blue–green works explore currents that branch like neural and cosmic networks. Here, water thinks, light remembers, and the structure of the world reveals itself through a rhythm that is not observed, but felt.
The blue and green works carry the freedom of water, of trust, and of surrender. They speak of currents that expand like neural networks and galactic structures. Here, macro and micro overlap, and the structure of the world is recognized intuitively through rhythm.
The works presented on the following pages belong to this series. They emerged as a sequence of connected variations, created through the free flow of acrylic paint on paper in the format of 12 × 16.5 in (30 × 42 cm), all following the same inner current.
Pulse of the Core
These works arise from inner warmth, from the flow of magma that generates a pulse within the planet’s living tissue. They speak of the bond between the human heart and the Earth’s core, of an energy that does not explode, but circulates, sustains, and nourishes life.
The red–orange works reflect fire, the heart, warmth, and inner passion. They carry the energy of magma rising from the core of the planet, an ember branching through the bloodstream of the earth, a warmth that sets life in motion. This is a strength that is not explosive, but sustaining, an energy that breathes, builds, connects, and nourishes.

Place of Return
My work does not offer answers. It returns the question and opens a space for dialogue.
The circular currents within this opus do not lead forward, but inward, toward the place where thought, feeling, and breath meet again. If this body of work has caused you to pause, perhaps you have reached a place of return. If it has set something in motion within you, the current is already continuing.
I chose this theme because I recognized it as a personal calling. I remained within it consciously, with dedication and depth, with the intention of lightening the ground and softening the flow for those who carry the responsibility of their calling each day.
It is almost impossible to reconcile responsibility and silence. You know how easily contact with one’s own current can be lost.
The invitation has already been extended. The conversation continues when we consciously agree upon the space.
Feel the Rhythm
Some people spin waves of joy just by dancing. It is natural for them to attract happiness and spread it around with their rhythm. Have you ever wondered how people talk to each other by dancing? The perfection of communication, release, exchange… Just a slight change of rhythm and thoughts start to displace themselves. What can you learn about people by only watching them dance? Do they play with their own bodies, create a rhythm, or follow others feeling a bit embarrassed? Are their fists tightly squeezed, or are their bodies striking acceptable poses or ready to get open and talk? Do you ever let their dance show you how far they can go, what they have been through, and what made them strong; are they ready for joy, or can they even be happy? What is it behind their charm that leads to the rhythm of the dance floor? Let yourself think about them for a moment and feel the rhythm… Now, keep that feeling and smile.
Blue sky, water, and sweet brown dates are all we need. We are everything else.

Following the true belonging
I believe in relationships based on open, honest, mutual interaction as the art of living. I wonder what the circumstances of life lead us to. It was so hard to accept the truth – I was a successful businesswoman, but I failed myself! I gave up on my light and optimism to save others from feeling uncomfortable by dealing with a “naive child.” I used to silence my values to keep peace in my relationships. I WASN’T EVEN AWARE OF THIS. “When do you feel free to be truly yourself?” I can’t tell you what the DIFFERENCE I MADE WITHIN MYSELF was just by getting back to FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF MY HEART. The more I spoke with colors, the more I played with my mind. And I achieved the impossible! Moreover, speaking the language of free expression, I met extraordinary people I love and admire. Now I move on to exploring and FOLLOWING the TRUE BELONGING. Stay tuned, choose one for yourself, and let’s meet. Why not have for yourself space to break free and go beyond the obvious ?

Unwritten Life Stories
Exploring myself and others, I am constantly searching for a wealth of resources we carry in ourselves, which gives us the strength to be open and honest, ready for dialogue with ourselves and others. When do you feel free to be truly yourself?

What is hiding under the surface of the iceberg of human behavior?
I believe in relationships based on open, honest, mutual interaction as the art of living. I wonder what the circumstances of life lead us to defend ourselves with shallow small talk or even arrogance and hide behind excuses by drowning in prejudices and routines of everyday obligations. I am crazy about awakening a wealth of resources we carry in ourselves that gives us the strength to be open and honest, ready for dialogue with ourselves and others. I am in constant search for the right ways to spark the awareness of a unique essence that we have in ourselves. With pure love, I paint to enact a space that encourages us to understand and prize our inner spark, so we can be open for the joy of meaningful life.

Journey to the center of our own beings
What if… I have lost myself? Would I know that I am lost? Or it’s impossible to know I lost myself because I’m no longer there to know it? Would everything seem the same for me? How difficult is it to find out what I had inside of me, or what part of me that I lost? What should I do to get myself back? Someone could use me as their own and I would not even know. Nevertheless, if I get lucky, someone will help me take better care of myself. I know I will surprise by the unexpected.
