the naked truth is ugly Drawing

Method Yoanna Nobel studied autonomous visual arts and graphic design at the royal academy of fine arts in The Hague. In her latest works ‘Behind the curtains’, Yoanna Nobel is inspired by the inner world of man. Her technique and choice of materials are highly dependent on the subject and the characters on her canvas. Yoanna Nobel calls herself an "experimental artist" and does not like being limited by a certain technique. Every day she is busy looking for new materials and techniques to give her work more life and magic. Creating and experimenting go together. With her work Yoanna tries to visualize the duality between the visible and the invisible world. The magic inner world of Yoanna The story begins with a little girl who is convinced that life is a fairy tale. Everything she sees, smells and feels, she translates in her own unique way. She believes that trees talk, the moon has eyes, the wind brings secret messages that you can only hear when you listen to her. The sea is a hidden paradise where fish, seahorses, whales, angels, water monsters and sea gods play and sometimes are at war with each other. And let's not forget heaven where Mr. God lives. Mr. God often does nothing and sometimes gives unsolicited advice. That girl decided she needed something so she could share her adventures with the world. It was written in the stars that this girl had to become an artist. Soon there was a need to translate this world into images. I note the amount of ideas that come in every day with quick sketches to bring them to life later. The creation process continues to surprise me every day. I have now left the illusion that I have control over my choice of images. The world around me is the ultimate decision maker and my hand just the translator. .
