Lina Marcela Arcila Rodriguez
Hi There! I'm LinaMar, an abstract artist. I was intuitively inspired to make connections between my life experiences, colours and their meaning and influence.
Painting has always been my way of communicating my feelings and taking in life with its beauty and challenges. My creative goal is to inspire those who view my artworks to reconnect with themselves and enjoy each colour. My playful use of different textures and shapes invites the viewer to focus on mindfully experiencing the paintings.
Because our minds understand abstract symbols at a deeper level than language, I use my abstract paintings combined with journaling to express the depths of my human experience as I found it highly beneficial for me, with my work I explore different techniques and ways of creating expressive textures and movement.
In my workshop, I teach people the benefits of expressing their emotions through art and how and why painting is such a powerful tool for improving well-being and self-exploration.
