In this bright cheerful painting Elisa played with organic flow and the organic interaction between the layers of paint. Dark and light, bright and muted colors interplay on the canvas. Elisa's intuitive works start off as stain painting, with the paint going into and even through the canvas. Her work is characterized by and interplay of bright colors balances with earthy nuetrals. Elisa is inspired by depicting unseen energies and emotions onto canvas, leaning into the beauty of happy accidents, organic flow, texture, detrition and layered sheer washes. This artwork is signed by the artist, unframed." About the Artist: Lifelong nomad Elisa Niva (b. 1993) is a painter and designer currently based in Philadelphia.
