About me...
My name is Žanet Godnič Bakoš. I was born in 1983. I grew up in Kanjiža, a little town at the banks of the Tisa river.
Already as a child I liked drawing, and my love for animals, the Tisa river and nature was even back then very obvious. After I had finished grammar school in Senta, I chose to continue my studies in a field which was so different from me. In 2010 I graduated from the University of Economics in Subotica. Having graduated, I joined a family business, which was running a dyehouse in my hometown.
Some time later, I moved to Subotica, got married and in a relatively short time got three sons. As a full-time mom, I gradually started moving away from the bustling world and getting back to the rhythm of nature, the place where I originated from as a newborn. As time was passing I felt a growing desire for creation. As if some invisible force was directing me towards the way I had to take.
I started sewing. I was making angel figures which helped me find my own self. I fell in love with calligraphy, and then, watercolour entered my life.
I started painting in 2021. Since the first moves of the brush, some beautiful feelings in me have been released. I began self teaching about it. I started painting birds, and some time later scenery and flowers.
Having started with realistic birds, now, two years later, I'm wandering somewhere between impressionism and abstract painting, depending on my mood. I like to paint scenery from my surroundings, and when I travel I try to take photos of nature which I later turn into paintings as I see them in my soul.
I was very surprised when a composer from New York contacted me for he had been inspired by one of my paintings, hence composed a piano piece. That privilege was a positive confirmation that I am heading in the right direction. I have been led by angels and stars to be where I am now, to fly with them over the earth to the sky while I paint...
