Dollka Morico is an artist that connects the stories of our past and present with our own personal stories of emotions and beliefs. She is passionate about the brands and subject matter that she chooses to paint because she believes that each one of us can connect to them and reflect on what they mean to us.
The splatters, swirls, shapes and textures you find in her work represents the emotions, experience, and stories of human life and the subject depicted. The recognisable visuals are there to draw you closer to the meaning of the art piece and the story it tells.
"My responsibility as an artist is to create work that brings a connection to each individual and evokes emotions about all that life has to offer. My goal is always to capture the beauty, joy and difficult moments that life can bring. I want my art to remind us how precious our time on earth is and how beautiful the journey can be."
Art is important to me. It is how I can completely express myself and my voice to the world. It gives me a way to observe, record, and share the meaning of life, as I see it.
Dollka has teamed up with her husband David to create a gallery space in New Canaan. Their vision is to create a gallery space for everyone. A place where we can collaborate with other artists from various backgrounds, disciplines, and trades to showcase the power of joining forces with other talented and passionate individuals. It’s a space that can bring the community together to admire, educate, and convey the importance that art can play in our lives, influences our culture, and contributes to society-at-large. Our hope is that it will allow others to understand the value of art, beyond the price tag.
