about
Amy Amalia works to translate her own meditative practice into a new visual landscape. Amalia constructs and composes mesmerizing scenes that serve to transport the viewers on a hypnotic journey inward.
Amalia uses a methodical process of paint application to create each symbol, shape and repetitive pattern found in her work. The central figures in her work are presented as guides - obfuscated and abstracted, only to be revealed with focused steady attention and with an earnest intention to see.
She combines All these elements to form an introspective, immersive space for cleansing perception and reinvestigating the experiences that we use to shape our identity.
