Artist Statement:
As a traveler in
this life, searching, I dived
deeper into my soul's journey
in order to discover myself.
On the edge of abstraction
I use elements from nature to
express my feelings.My painted
diaries together with my poems
endeavor to build a bridge
between me and the world.
My recent work captures
shreds of self finding the way
to struggle back to wholeness.
A new self. With layers of
paint, I dare to soar where
the highest and most ideal
form of composition is that
which expresses life. And I
deepen where is no path,
honouring echoes in a new
light.
Each painting is a pause
in my journey, echoing life.
...all cascade from
moments of realization;
sparkles of light and hope.
I'm a traveler between
dreamscapes.
I'm a pouring of thoughts
on the irreversible passage of
time.
My painted diaries together
with my poems endeavor to
build a bridge between me and
the world.
The Dreamer
Years after minutes,
Minutes after years
My life is changing colours
Laughter after tears.
Love embracing the Dreamer
On a bright summer day,
The life is changing colours
Autumn early day.
In a valley, ruins. An old
castle...

Selected Bibliography
...Participating in more than 170 exhibitions in the
past twelve years, in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and
B.C. ,here are some selected bibliography from four TV
interviews and fourteen articles in the
newspapers.
...Hajni, a productive artist who has lived in Canada
since 1990, paints with rich colours on the edge
of abstraction. Her highly animated and confident
style suggests forms rather defining them. Hajni
suggests feelings, and forms, she expects the viewer
to get involved in completing whatever moods
and meaning she hints at.
Shape Shifting by Regina Haggo The Hamilton
Spectator - July 17,1999
...Her shapes and colours are twisted up in unusual
plumes of and pools of landscapes, or
perhaps dreamscapes. Everything seems to marble into
each other- water, sky, earth, human
figure and abstract impulse. Her work is unmistakably
hers. ...All in all, Hajni is an interesting
artist to watch.
Bridged Reflections by Jeff Mahoney The Hamilton
Spectator - May 23,1998
...Most notably there is her judicious use of metallic
paints, but also the way she evokes three-
dimensionality. There is muscle in her eerie rock
formations and dancing forms of trees and
human figures.
...Her paintings emerges from her admiration of the
landscape, but there's nothing peaceful and
pastoral about them. Instead, they resemble volcanic
eruptions.
...The senses, maternity and illusion, experiences,
emotions: all are fodder for Hajni's art. Thus
there are no precise keys to reading it.
