About the Item

Dreams of Peace, Original Abstract Painting, 2021 This is a finger painted, original painting. Created in Los Angeles, CA Professional grade acrylic paint on wood panel Ready to hang with wires and D ring Signed on the back Certificate of authenticity included with original Artist Commentary: This painting is about fostering peace, investing in love and in peace rather than conflict. Bringing two streams together to be in harmony. Keywords: red, abstract, gestural Artist Biography: It took me a long time to embrace the ‘Artist’ label but now I know this is who I am - I’m Aida and I’m an Artist :) I’m an Artist because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. The darker the shadow the brighter the light…..My Rheumatoid Arthritis is my shadow. My art is my light. When I was 20 years old I was diagnosed with my shadow and, subsequently, semi paralyzed for 4.5 years. I was bed bound. Life had literally dealt me a bad hand - I had irreparable damage to both of my hands - and left me down, desperate, and depressed. When I was in this place I asked myself ‘what would I do today if today was my last day’? The answer was painting, so guess what, I painted! However, I didn’t paint with paint brushes, I painted only with my hands. Why? To demonstrate to myself and to the world that I am not damaged and this dysmorphia will not define me. I have never and will never pick up a paint brush. My hands are all I need. I love my hands now. One question set me on a path to turn my darkness into light. My next question is ‘how can I spark wonder with my art and use art and coaching to help people feel seen, heard, and loved?

  • Commemorate, Original Contemporary Red, White, and Blue Abstract Painting
    Located in Boston, MA
    Commemorate, Original Contemporary Red, White, and Blue Abstract Painting, 2022 30" x 48" x 1.5" (HxWxD) Acrylic and Ink on Canvas A vibrant color palette of blues, reds, and greens flows across the canvas in abstracted forms that imply the movement of water. It looks as though you are looking up at a distorted image through the movement of the ocean overhead. The red, white, and blue color scheme invokes a patriotic feel, as if you are spending the 4th of July on a lake. Artist Commentary: 30 x 48 x 1.5” gallery wrapped with painted edges. Acrylic and Ink on canvas. This is one in my series of emotionally charged coastal abstract artworks. I used saturated vibrant colors and powerful brush strokes, as I do in all my paintings, in order to create a lasting visual impression. Materials: Professional acrylic paints and canvas. Finished with a glaze of UV varnish to protect against sunlight and dust damage. My art pieces are held in private and commercial collections around the world, including the UK, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Asia, France, Canada, Australia and USA. Margaret Juul...

    By Tyler Sorgman
    Located in Boston, MA
    Artist Commentary: Safe House is special to me because I was thinking a lot about the meaning, and feeling of "home" during the pandemic. I tried to show the solitary home as both a refuge, as well as a place of confinement. I wanted the space to feel both inviting yet uneasy at the same time.
