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: Life is forcing us to wake up. We have an option today to wake up or stay in the matrix. This piece is dedicated to the shift we are all going through. Keywords: colorful, abstract, texture, gestural, contemporary 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?

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
