CAD$20*. I include $20 in pricing shown. I have found this covers almost all situations and allows for a main focal artwork piece and then some secondary artwork for the sides and back, depending on the collection being decorated.
Deni has some most amazing, intricate and beautiful artwork related to nature I have ever seen done with ink only. I do not show everything here, so please be sure to visit her online (please note that not all of Deni’s artwork found online can be used since they are commissions).
*Deni has some very special signature artwork that adds a further $30 to the cost (artwork cost is $50). I show two of her signature pieces here - the owl and the wolf, seen on the large version of the ‘Be Gentle’ collection. There is more artwork like this, if interested, I’d be happy to share more.

Nature filled Art, Tattoos, Illustrations from Slovakia filled with symbols & geometry.
Let me decorate your life with my delicate line drawings inspired by nature.
DETAILS AND SYMBOLS
My style owes a lot to my pens: they unleash my creativity and give freedom to my expression. Their precision allows me to create by using the tiniest dots, the thinnest lines, and the most detailed shapes. For me, drawing them is the most profound form of meditation.
I love deeply, and I try to think in broad contexts. It is another reason why I chose to express myself and my affection towards nature through tiny symbols. They form the background of a still life; instead of drawing a simple tree, I turn to abstract leaves full of dots, which carry the original, concrete meaning. Similarly, I am drawn to the symbolism of geometric shapes. Although they are static by nature, in my drawings, they portray movement and direction.
Together, the details help complete a still life taken out of nature's reality, which forms our surroundings: plants, animals, people, or even entire ecosystems. The symbols are a reminder that even the smallest dot carries its significance.
THEMES
I grew up in a small village in Eastern Slovakia called Obyce, where I have always been in close touch with nature. A meadow surrounded by the woods is right above my parents' house, and during warm summer evenings, wild animals often wander directly to our doorstep. Just across the street from the house, there is a farm where my grandma had worked her entire life. Every day after school, she taught me how to take care of animals. I remember petting each one that didn't run away from me. :) Flowers, plants, and trees oversaw all these adventures and accompanied me on hiking and fishing trips with my family.
As an adult, I moved to the capital for my university studies. The feeling of disconnection from this energy inspired me to draw natural themes, which was an easy, almost subconscious choice. Particular topics depend on what interests me most at the time.
