ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dasha Novak was born in Czech Republic and achieved her Masters degree in media arts from the Emily Carr University in Vancouver, Canada.

Perceiving the world around her through multiple forms of synesthesia, Dasha has always been drawn to multi sensory processes and expressions in art. Her impasto portraits are complex studies of intimate and authentic human experiences.

Dasha's devotion is to recognizing a personal, intimate characteristic or a story written deep in human eyes and facial expressions, however fleeting they may be. She then immortalizes the features through the use of impasto painting techniques.
