I’m a Southern California oil painter seeking to capture light, form and the soul within what I see through my work.
I seek to express the Spiritual side of existence through simple elements in nature and figures.
“One interesting fact about my style of painting – I look at my phone screen for reference and freehand the composition in real time.”
Oil painting and its timeless place in history has inspired her to become self taught in it. Her works are influenced by the style of great oil painters of today like Vladimir Kush, Jeremy Lipking, Vladimir Volegov, Daniel Keys, Anna Rose Bain, Richard Schmid and recently, Michael Obermeyer.
“As any artist, I view life through Spirit eyes, with richness of its colors. Thus I often like painting the Sun and its reflection in our lives. Also, my paintings often contain hidden hearts as a natural part of the painting process and if you look closely, sometimes you can find them. I also focus on symmetry and patterns in a composition, inviting the viewer on a path of their own discovery.”
Today, Lia focuses on capturing the soul and the vision of what she sees through her seascapes and figures, as she continues her journey to self realization.
