About the Item

Via Li (Chinese, born 1997) "Under the Water" 2022 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the back of the painting. 'Under the Water' by Via Li is a compelling 48" x 36" figurative acrylic painting on canvas that captivates with its raw emotional intensity and vivid color palette. The artwork features two figures submerged in an abstract aquatic environment, their forms enveloped in a whirlpool of rich blues, deep reds, and soft pink hues. The cascading colors and dynamic brush strokes suggest the fluidity and depth of water, creating a sense of being pulled into the depths. The artist masterfully portrays a moment of vulnerability and serene surrender, as the figures seem to drift peacefully, yet powerfully, beneath the surface. This painting evokes a spectrum of emotions, reflecting the complexities of human emotions intertwined with the tranquility and unpredictability of water. 'Under the Water' is a visually striking piece that invites the viewer to dive into its depths and explore the hidden layers of emotion and beauty within. About the Artist: Via Li is a dynamic contemporary artist from Cupertino, California, whose paintings explore the intricate emotions and daily experiences of women. With a Bachelor of Arts in Textile Design from DongHua University and a Master of Fine Arts in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design, Via combines abstract and figurative elements to capture the immediate power of emotions as they arise. Her work acts as both a personal diary and a broader commentary on the societal challenges and inner strength of women. Via Li’s paintings are not just visually compelling; they challenge the viewer to confront and appreciate the delicate interplay between adversity and beauty, making her works deeply resonant and impactful in the world of contemporary art.
