Aloel Cristal

Artist Bio

Aloel was born in a beautiful Latvian resort town. Her earliest memories include drawing on the white doors of her family’s apartment, as well as seeing shapes of faces, human figures and animals in random patterns, water stains and clouds – everywhere she looked. She spent much of her early years painting with oils and sketching with charcoal, though she never attended an art school. Instead her path led her into healing – first as a medical doctor, and later as a naturooathic doctor in Canada. During the years of living in Canada she has participated in a few group exhibits in Toronto as well as sold some paintings through galleries and directly to private collectors. Following an early retirement, Aloel delved wholeheartedly into visual art. After completing the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute she has become a full time artist. Her hope is that her paintings speak directly to the heart and soul through harmonious, high frequency colour and form. For the past 7 years Aloel lived and created in her small eco home in the Bulgarian wilderness, where peace, oak, trees, birds and mountain views provided a space for quiet contemplation and intimate connection with the natural world. At present, she is relocating back to Ontario, Canada, re-constructing as beautiful and harmonius conditions for her life and creativity, as before.
