Creating Worlds Within Worlds

Arianna’s artwork lives at the intersection of Realism and Abstraction. She creates an alternate, and often dreamlike world for her subjects that extends to her viewers.

After being dispirited from a career in Art at an early age, while feeling lost and purposeless as a result, she chose to pursue art full-time after feeling a divine call to get back to her true passion, and used the discouragement as a catalyst to improving her skill.

She now uses her art as a vehicle to promote her message of being "authentic to oneself" and to create a reality dictated by such.

As a self-taught artist for most of her life, she enrolled in an extensive 1 Year Mastery Art Program and sought mentorship to further improve and expand her skillset in 2022.

Arianna is a young artist whose works center around women, animals and nature; which she often paints together. After being a strict traditional oil painter for many years, she introduced collage, mark making, abstraction and acrylic paints into her process. This is when her unmistakable style began to emerge.

Her main source of inspiration is to paint the things she finds most beautiful. Her art centres around the themes of Freedom and Femininity, which she enjoys exploring and celebrating through her works. As a Caribbean born artist, elements of the tropics can also be seen influencing many of her pieces. Arianna aspires for her artwork to always be uplifting, and to bring comfort and a sense of escape to the souls of the beholder.

Currently, The Artist is working on building a new portfolio of work and establishing a presence in both the physical and virtual art world.

Barbados

"One thing I love to do most on the island is explore. When I don't know where I am the more at peace I feel. To me, being able to get out in nature to hike, cycle or take my dogs out and watch them run wild feeds the nomadic and free spirit within me."

I also enjoy going to my favorite beaches here on the island to swim, surf, paddle board or just relax.

"Growing up I had an interest in multiple forms of art at some point in my life.

I crafted and built things, I sewed clothing, played instruments like the flute , I wrote and illustrated books, comic strips and even poetry. I drew and painted and learnt two languages. I Enjoy photography, content creation, and travel.

I believe whole heartedly that I was meant to be a creative, even before birth. Creating something, whatever form it manifested was always my way of being me. If I wasn’t creating, I was nothing."
