Ia Crous
Ia Crous is an abstract artist from Bloemfontein South-Africa.
Since 2000, Ia has been studying the healing power of colour and the psychological interaction of colour, dreams and art as medicine, attending events and conferences to further her research.
She says “This change in focus emphasized authentic personal mark making, emotional-honesty art, and the enjoyment of free execution. The acceptable way of starting an artwork with a notion, drawing, ‘copying’ or concept was replaced by an inner voice to work intuitively. The idea, emotion, and motivation for a particular painting develops as the abstract work of art takes shape. “
Since 2007 she participated in various South-African art festivals, which provided her with the opportunity to further her art career.
