About Ilona

Ilona Sonda is a Latvian-born artist and Mindset coach, who divides her time between Latvia and Switzerland.

As a lifelong lover of art, Ilona began her painting career later in life. She views her previous experiences as essential preparation, now channeling her life’s journey and spiritual encounters into her vibrant artwork.

Ilona's art is a unique blend of expressive abstraction,  stylized realism and deep symbolism. Her paintings are distinguished by intricate layers and textures.

Her art provides a sense of vibrant joy and deep calmness and invites viewers to gain new perspectives and see themselves and the world within a broader, eternal context.

On a more personal note

Well, I am a daughter of an artist and mother of an artist. I have two adult daughters who made me to a happy grandma of three wonderful kiddos.

I believe in Miracles and things unseen, I find my strength and foundation rooted in Scripture.

As an educated linguist and Mindset and Emotional wellbeing coach I am aware of the power and impact of our words we speak and beliefs which we carry about ourselves..

Most precious values in my life besides the family are relationships with people I meet and the ability to create.

Painting is what makes me happy. It is by grace of the Creator to create something from basically nothing. It feels like a Miracle to me.
