Poetry Art by Launa

The idea of the poem and the painting came to Lona after she visited the Chernobyl-affected areas of Ukraine, where she was a part of the Eastern European Mission International Charitable Foundation. One of the symbols presented in the museum's exposition is a tree without roots, which grows through an empty cradle and inspired Lona to create a unique work.
The picture is made in the style of poetic painting.
Poetic painting is a new artistic style created in the late 1980s by the American artist Lona. She completely fills her canvases with the words of her own poetry. When contemplating her painting from a distance, an impressionistic and realistic impression is formed, when you approach only a few steps, a shocking discovery occurs - every detail, penumbra or nuance is poetry that can be read. Beginning with the first successful exhibition at the San Diego Gallery, the artist realized that something new and extraordinary had been born - poetic painting. As an artist and poet, Lona is constantly in search of personal values, goals and by combining the art of art and the art of poetry tries to help suffering children around the world. "The art that heals the heart" is how Lona describes his style.
