NAVIDA

Artist’s Philosophy

Welcome to my page!  

“My name is Navida and I am an Artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

To me, Art is expression – it’s in everything we do. When you dance to your heart’s song it becomes a tune only you can play, which makes your expression the most you and nobody can replicate that. It’s really beautiful.

Painting has been a way that I continue to create in a state of flow. For me painting is a form of meditation, a creative outlet, an escape and a place to land. I come to a canvas with a plan or idea, only to realize it changes as I go along – often for the better, which tends to mirror much of life. Each stroke is a different direction, a different decision, each coming from the one before. I find there is an interesting parallel with art and life. We create and paint our life story each day, how we interact with the colours and each other is what makes our own picture meaningful and unique.

My intention is to create pieces and moments that allow for presence and connection. It’s in the simplicity of these moments that remind us that life may not be beautiful in its entirety, but truly is beautiful in its moments. In this we are able to feel life, give it meaning and experience the beauty that surrounds us each day.”

Thanks for being here!
