Katia Jirankova Levanti lives half the year in her native Prague and the other half she spends merging with the waves of the Connecticut coast, painting as close as possible to the waters. Her concept is called “Subconsciounalism,” which she describes:

“I arrived at this name to describe my work after studying deeply in the philosophies and writings of writers whose understanding of the universe and mankind — though originating from different of the scientific and philosophical world — seemed to meet me at the apex of the symbolic pyramid. As one of them said, the four walls could be seen as the four great world religions, all arriving from opposite directions at the comment point: where ‘the eye of God opens.’”

For Katia, these four sides could depict quantum physics, psychology, mythology, and art.
