Today we’d like to introduce you to Aryana B. Londir.
Hi Aryana, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
As a creative individual, I have sought opportunities that may be off the beaten path to some, but I tend to choose the path that provides me the ability to delve further into myself and my abilities. As a child, I preferred the quiet times, which provided me with the opportunity to read, draw, and paint. Fortunately for me, my curiosities were given the chance to grow by my parents and family.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Hmmmm… a smooth road? Honestly, I don’t know if it’s “been a smooth road,” I only know that my path has created many opportunities for growth and learning, both of which I crave.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As an artist, I have been fortunate to create meaningful work in various media. For me, if my work doesn’t have a solid foundation and contributes to the world, it has no meaning. I have explored socio/political issues, primarily overcrowding and overpopulation. Collage is a medium that has intrigued and fascinated me for many years.
The ability to create thought-provoking images with various elements, both digital and analog, is a new way for me to express current and past experiences in my life and reality. I work in the abstract by choice; it challenges me and invites the viewer to evoke their own personal experiences and emotions.
Contributing to overcrowding has been part of my dilemma; working with tangible physical materials and the accumulation of supplies with which to create that work has made me feel more of an accomplice than a solution, so I move into working more minimally, combining digital assets with analog collage.
I believe that creating my art from discarded and found materials to be a more conscientious endeavor at this time in my life I made that decision when it came to light how deeply polluted our oceans are, and how entire cities are constructed on landfills. Giving those materials a new life, I hope it inspires others to look more deeply into how precious our planet is.
