Collection:
Neva, Moriya
After a breakup, Moriya Neva melted her wedding ring with a ring she received after her son's birth. In this way, a family relic came to life—a small emerald ring filled with the essence of her emotions. It symbolized a new period which could not have started without the past. Her first “gemstone” picture is the result of that story: she wanted to transfer the shiny facets of personality and fate that found reflection in a gemstone to canvas. In her collection of “gemstones,” each has unique stories to tell. She creates her paintings with rough, large, carefully laid-out strokes; contrasting colors that talk to each other to create the contours of each stone; and strokes and accents created to communicate with the viewer and their space.
