Braks Art

BIO

Born in Estonia in 1976, I am an artist, graphic designer, and educator with a deep passion for visual art. I work across both traditional and digital media, and occasionally create applied art. Painting has been my passion since childhood, influenced greatly by my grandmother and aunt. Together, we represent three generations of artists.

My art spans a diverse range of themes, styles, techniques, and media, covering various subjects, emotions, and moods. I am constantly seeking new experiences while returning to familiar practices, creating work that is versatile, eclectic, and abundant. This freedom of artistic expression allows me to explore a wide array of artistic possibilities.

My immersion in the creative process has led me to experience the mindfulness and flow state that art can provide. This experience inspired me to study art therapy, which I now incorporate into my teaching methods. As a professional teacher, I have over 10 years of experience working with students of all ages.

In my daily life, I work as a graphic designer and team leader in the food and confectionery industry. I also give design lectures. I am committed to continuous self-education in art and design.

From time to time, I accept commissioned works. If you are interested in collaborating or need my services, feel free to reach out.
