'Art that arises out of the inner landscape, and is connected to our lived experience, illuminates the darkness and heals the soul' - Daria Halprin

Danielle Fontaine Koslowsky's work explores the nebulous subject of the interior life. Her practice, rooted in the contemplative path and the study of the mystics, explores her own inner landscape; a fractal of the human experience. Her work, like a mirror, reflects back to the self, its journey inwards towards the centre.

She uses painting as a medium through which to make the invisible, visible. Colour, mark, texture, line and form give expression to ideas, paradoxes and concepts where language fails. Through abstraction, disorder gives way to order and invites the viewer towards new perceptions and insights. By surrendering to the creative process, her artistic discipline allows her to be used as a vessel guided by the work. This intuitive approach enables her to circumvent the intellect in order to access a naked intent towards the true self, coaxing the viewer on their own journey into the interior life.
