Artist Statement
My name is Ariana and I am a mixed media artist based in Toronto, Canada. My art focuses mainly on blending together both digital and traditional paintings, specifically working with acrylic and watercolour paint. Digitally, the interest is more focused towards character drawings, abstract video art, and more recently, sound art. In contrast with my traditional paintings, the digital mediums add an extra level to experiencing my works. I am currently in my fifth year of study at OCADU in the program Drawing and Painting: digital painting and expanded animation. My skills and techniques have greatly improved since staring at the school and thematically they deal with self identity and self discovery. I focus on documenting how I Interpret the world inside my head and around me and making it into a 3D form.
