Art that Heals by Irina Gorbman

My mission is to Create the Healing Power of Art.

My art process is a meditation, where I bring higher energies onto the canvas. I paint without sketches, predetermined color palette, or my glasses. The more you look, the more you see - mountains, rivers, people, and animals that have not been intentionally painted. There is always more than meets the eye. I go with a flow, my hand picks up colors intuitively and paints in a gestural, automatic, and abstract style. When the painting is completed, I step back to meet and greet the creation.

I believe that art is a battery that can “recharge” the body, elevate the spirit, and cleanse a room. I also believe that in our technology-driven world, we need a color boost to feel more energetic and become more holistic. The colors - happy colors of the Universe that I use - help in this process of elevation. The intention of this exhibition is to generate good vibes and make the viewer feel recharged.

Art patrons note that the sensitivity of my work is similar to Mark Tobey, Edvard Munch, Joan Mitchell, Willem de Kooning, Edouard Manet and references abstract expressionism. My list of exhibitions includes Architectural Digest Design Shows in New York, The Boston International Fine Art Show, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, multiple galleries, fundraising galas for React, Inspire, Act, Tomorrow’s Women Today, The Susan G. Komen Foundation, and showings at public and private venues.
