Artist Statement
Have you ever felt so much that it was frightening?
You’re not alone!
We are experiencing extremes that influence and trigger feelings of unsettled nervousness, sadness, absence, and uncertainty. I will be the first to admit that I felt all the above, a sadness that came quick without warning. And then the portals came into form. I didn’t realize the meaning and the gift these paintings were.
A voice within has become my guide to share a mission for myself while holding space to share with others. My real feelings of balance, hope, happiness, and a love felt reminder that good does exist all around.
So many of us care for others, for animals, for Mother Earth and that’s what this show is all about. Our connection to the Sky, Earth & Air. May those reminders be the flame that saves us and generations to come.
Artist Bio
,,
Lily Fertik is an abstract impressionist painter. As this collection progressed, she moved into a limited color palette and found herself immersed in the world of portals that dove into the realm of oneself and the energy beyond. Lily naturally transposes emotional experience into visual form to create and to express the energy of hope; moving one beyond current time and space. Each holds emotions, shares the journey of thoughts, heart, and an ethereal devotion to nature.
