Iveth Jalinsky, was born in Pereira, Colombia in 1972. Her love for art flourished as she grew up in a home with a German heritage, where art was a way of life. In 1989, she pursued her advanced education in Interior Design at the University Taller 5 of Bogota. She was especially intrigued by the techniques of the old master painters whose subjects focused on religious, ecclesiastic and Christian art.
In 1992, Iveth acquired the knowledge and the skills of the art of restoration. Her encounter with numerous old works of art nurtured the dynamic and mysterious element that is now present in her own paintings.
"When the serenity comes to me, I begin to transcribe on to the canvas my spiritual experiences. The magic of the color continues through the palette knife, creating forms from lineal raps with emphasis on light and darkness, because finally life is the same, infinite and deep." --Iveth Jalinsky
