What was the turning point that led you to fully embrace painting?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 20 years of building my own IT company, which eventually became a market leader, I began to feel that I had almost lost touch with myself. Throughout those years, I never stopped drawing \u2014 even if it was just on scraps of paper with a pencil or pen. For a woman, it\u2019s especially important not to lose that creative spark \u2014 it\u2019s what nourishes the soul. When my three sons grew up and the company became stable, I felt it was time to devote myself to my inner world \u2014 a world of intuition, kindness, and art.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does your experience as an entrepreneur influence your creative process?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrepreneurship taught me discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking \u2014 all of which I now apply to my art. I know how to set goals, work systematically, and embrace innovation. My experience in sales and marketing helps me not only to create but also to present my work effectively and connect with audiences around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023-172x300.jpg 172w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023-588x1024.jpg 588w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023-768x1338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023-882x1536.jpg 882w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Dawn-Roses-2023-600x1045.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Vera Sol | Dawn Roses | 2023<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your artworks radiate a deep sense of calm and introspection. Where do you draw this emotional energy from?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mostly from silence, solitude, and the contemplation of nature. Painting is my way of experiencing emotions and transforming them into beauty. It\u2019s a form of meditation where color and texture become the language of the soul. The depth of my work reflects my personal journey \u2014 filled with loss, inner growth, and the search for my true self, supported by meditation and yoga.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides painting, I\u2019ve written a series of practical books for women focused on emotional healing and self-harmony. They are 21-day journals \u2014 honest and hands-on, offering space for inner dialogue, daily rituals, and affirmations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything I create \u2014 with words or a brush \u2014 is aimed at restoring inner balance and awakening feminine power. My art is about forgiveness, acceptance of the past, and finding quiet strength in love, kindness, and peace.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What role does intuition play in your creative process?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intuition is the foundation of my creative work. The image of a painting comes to me as a response to what I feel the world needs right now. I sense an energetic request \u2014 invisible, but real \u2014 and I respond to it with color, form, and texture. It\u2019s a dialogue, where the canvas asks its questions, and I respond with inner insight. Sometimes it feels like I\u2019m not creating \u2014 but transmitting what needs to be said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20680 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Gaze-into-the-Sunset-2022-600x751.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Vera Sol | Gaze into the Sunset | 2022<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How has returning to art changed your perspective on life?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reminded me that life is not just about achievements. It\u2019s about presence. The ability to feel, to live fully, and to be vulnerable. Art has softened me. It taught me that beauty can be born even from brokenness \u2014 and that through creativity, we can heal, not only ourselves, but others too.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does the landscape or spirit of Kyrgyzstan influence your work?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mountains, sky, and sacred silence of Kyrgyzstan deeply affect my emotional palette. I don\u2019t always paint literal landscapes, but their spirit \u2014 vastness, mysticism, grounding \u2014 is present in my colors and forms. The stillness of this land resonates in my work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20681 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024-818x1024.jpg 818w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024-768x961.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualartjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Vera-Sol-Morning-in-a-Hammock-2024-600x751.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/> Vera Sol | Morning in a Hammock | 2024<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you approach painting with a clear vision, or do you allow each piece to evolve organically?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I begin a painting, I usually have a clear inner image \u2014 a vision of what it\u2019s meant to be. But during the process, new ideas and feelings often emerge, and I welcome them. It\u2019s like starting a journey with a map, but discovering magical detours along the way. I trust this process \u2014 it\u2019s alive, like life itself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year of birth: 1980.Where do you live: Kyrgyzstan.Your education: Degree in Computer Science and Business Management.Describe your art in three words: Emotional.
