In addition to painting, she devoted herself to piano, singing, dancing, later during her studies at university she played theater, in her free time she was interested in fashion design, photography, writing, directing theater scenes, she was completely subject to interior design, garden architecture and feng shui art. ....
After graduating from high school, she gradually studied various departments at 3 universities in Slovakia and abroad. Well, as she claims, the best school is her own "SCHOOL OF LIFE". During her studies, she traveled the world for a few years, gathering invaluable life experiences, inspirations, literally "searching", "researching" life, thus trying a number of different professions: from nurse, saleswoman, waitress, hostess to model and photo model, animator, arranger. and decorator, tourist guide and delegate, work in administration, teacher, lecturer, mentor, psychologist, editor and editor of an English magazine, translator, financial advisor, hotel, business and project manager, entrepreneur or language school director .....
Well, as life passed, she became more and more aware that she was still not satisfied enough, something important was missing in her life, ..... she mostly did the things that the "others" expected of her and for her dream life and the creation of her. somehow there was no time left .... until finally, after overcoming difficult life exams, she said EVERYONE a few years ago, she ended her last job as the school's language director and decided that she would finally focus mainly on what she really LOVES and makes her happy ......
"I said yes for too long when I wanted to say no and I said no for too long when I wanted desperately to say yes ........... now finally
I LIVE, I LOVE and I CREATE ... I do what I have always been created for and I am extremely grateful for my "decision" to live my dream to the fullest :-) "

Jarka Fox's work differs from other creators of fine art mainly by its diversity in the style of creating an artistic statement ..... Her style is not uniform, because her "lush" imagination does not allow her to do so. She prefers to create with complete freedom, not bound by any "rules", she does not focus on refining a unified style, but rather on the internal dialogue between her and the observer, on the expression and positive message intended for people. The unifying element is the clear color of rich and fresh colors, it reduces reality many times to an abstract form.
The source of inspiration is her very life, rich experiences, nature, people, landscapes, cities, ..... simply the whole world around us in its various forms. The author's effort is to reveal his beauty, the perfection she feels with all her senses and to transform it into an "artistic form" so that her works radiate what she puts into them - her love, positive energy, joy, passion, ... excitement to discover and create something new ... An interesting and especially varied work of a talented artist opens up before us, who can really unwind and paint the way she feels. In her paintings we find the interplay of colors, their magical variety, sometimes even mystery, which awakens our imagination and introduces us to the world of ideas and feelings that are hidden in us ......
In recent years, Jarka has been increasingly involved in the creation of MANDAL, the creation of high-energy and harmonizing works, which she herself says that this creation involves much more than "just" painting .......... it is mostly work and creation with energies and as she says herself, here she found her MISSION ......

JARKA FOX is an international artist born in a beautiful small country in the heart of Europe, Slovakia.
ART has always belonged to her life. She´s been painting and creating since her childhood. As a child and teenager with natural attitude for art she created every free time she had, experimented with whatever materials she came to hand.
Her life story is as colorful as her artworks ..... She attended a private art school, gradually studied different subjects at 3 universities. During her studies and then she was traveling a lot, searching herself, trying many different jobs such as a photomodel, hostess, performer, waitress, sales manager, travel agent, trip manager, animator, publisher, scriptwriter, translator, creative director, project manager, teacher, mentor, headmaster, managing director, ......., and other ones, sometimes not very creative, even boring for her, sometimes challenging and exciting ones, giving her a lot of fantastic life experiences which she uses now also in her art ..... In that time dhe often felt that what she did, .... was not fully „HER“. She always missed something ........ as she says .........., mostly "had to listen" to others, did the things which were expected from her ....... She realized that she needed to change it as soon as possible, .... otherwise she would be ”dying” slowly ........ and several years ago, after overcoming some hard life "exams", ... .there was the right time not to had to change it, ..... there was no time to wait any longer ...... just to decide ....... from day to day she quit her last jobs in a positions of a school headmaster and managing director and decided to devote herself full time to what she´s always really been passionate about - to painting and creating ART and it was the best decision she has ever done, as she says:
„ART is ME, my LOVE, my LIFE, my PASSION, ... my everything .... simply I was born to LIVE, LOVE and CREATE ...... ❤️
....... when I create, I feel free like a bird that can fly anywhere.First I have a vision, dream or just unspeakable feeling, .... then I just have to go to my atelier and paint everything on canvas, ... completely losing myself in that :-) It´sa fascinating process, full of freedom, love, passion, .... :-)
J arka focuses mostly on acrylic media based in abstract design with loose brushwork, extensive use of palette knives and her own hands. The intended result is a painting with movement and strong energy, rich in colors, texture, and light 3D feel that draws the viewer deep into the painted image.Her art describes an image of certain moments of life, representing different emotions and feelings indirectly expressed through colors and balanced harmoniuos forms.Diversity of her themes is extremely wide but her most inspiration comes from the world around that she perceives with all her senses. She doesn´t use just one "style", her styles include modern abstract art, cityscapes, landscapes, figurative art, portraits, floral art, animal paintings, spiritual and Feng shui art, Mandala art, Energetic art, and many more others. .......
She explains this diversity like this: “I don't have any specific style, topic or subject in my art. There's so much out interesting around us to focus only on one subject ...... ”
In last years she is also interested in creating highly energetic paintings - MANDALAs to "guide" people to bring about feelings of balance, harmony, peace, love, .... and other higher vibes .......... .... to heal and positively energize their souls and bodies, ....... to awaken their inner guidance, develop their intuition and bring healing on their spiritual journey through the beauty of art and her magic mandalas .... ....... to transform and empower the spaces in which these artworks are hung and those who view them .... and much more .....
Her creative process explores this kind of art as a powerful healing tool for inspiring other people to develop their imagination, creativity, intuition and spirituality. Each her mandala is an energetic "tool" with a powerful vibration delivering self-empowering messages connected to human being´s soul, a channel between people and the magic of the universe.

"My art has a special mission for all human beings, ...... mostly to spread LOVE, positive vibes, faith, peace, ..... all around the world, ......... to "shift" and INSPIRE people to "wake up", open their hearts, come together and LIVE ........ and ........ LOVE ..... and CREATE their wonderful lives on this amazing planet .....
I talk through my art, having a dialogue between myself and the canvas and ........ the viewers can feel it. Sometimes they can understand my "language", ..... sometimes they don´t, ... but they open a new conversation ....... my art is meant to have a heart and if it can make people happy, smile, positively inspire and updraft them, ......... if the people really can feel the energy from my artworks ..... enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them, I have accomplished my goal of evoking mutual connection :-) .... :-))))
I believe that ART knows no borders, no barriers, no religions, no age or sex limitation.
ART is here to build bridges that connect nations and melt the cultural diversity in one pot to create a universal language - the language of art. ...... "
