Oil paintings exploring human presence, memory, and emotional depth.

Darina Boldizar portrait

Darina Boldizar

Born in Košice, Slovakia, Darina immigrated to Canada in 1980 with her husband, two young children, and two suitcases. Although art had always been part of her life, she set it aside while building a new life in a new country, returning fully to painting in 1995 after her children left for university.

A lifelong learner, Darina has studied with contemporary painters across North America and has exhibited widely in group and juried shows, earning numerous awards. Her largest solo exhibition, curated by the Slovak Embassy in Ottawa, featured 56 paintings.

 

Working primarily in oils, Darina paints a wide range of subjects. For her, painting is both joy and refuge — an oasis of calm and a way to nourish the soul amid the world’s chaos.
