About the Item

'The Moment of Struggling' by artist Via Li is a compelling figurative acrylic painting on a 30" x 24" canvas that visually encapsulates the internal turmoil of emotional struggle. The artwork features a stark, pale-faced figure whose expression is one of deep contemplation or distress, set against a backdrop of soft pinks and harsh turquoise drips that seem to melt into the scene. The striking contrast of a fire blazing at the figure's core, rendered in vivid oranges and reds, symbolizes a fierce inner turmoil or burning passion struggling to be contained. This dynamic interplay of cool and warm tones not only enhances the visual impact of the piece but also evokes a sense of conflict and duality within the human spirit. Via Li uses bold, fluid color transitions to convey the fluidity and unpredictability of our deepest emotions, making 'The Moment of Struggling' a powerful reflection on the human condition. About the Artist: Via Li is a dynamic contemporary artist from Cupertino, California, whose paintings explore the intricate emotions and daily experiences of women. With a Bachelor of Art in Textile Design from DongHua University and a Master of Fine Art in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design, Via combines abstract and figurative elements to capture the immediate power of emotions as they arise. Her work acts as both a personal diary and a broader commentary on the societal challenges and inner strength of women. Her art, featured in exhibitions such as "Inner Sense" at Art Fluent and the "Emerging Woman Artist Award Show" by Arts to Hearts Project, draws viewers into a reflective dialogue on the complexities of beauty, pain, and empowerment. Via Li’s creations are not just visually compelling; they challenge the viewer to confront and appreciate the delicate interplay between adversity and beauty, making her works deeply resonant and impactful in the world of contemporary art.
