Visual Artist. Miami. Chile
Antonia Prida is a Chilean artist born in 1995, who grew up on the outskirts of Santiago, surrounded by the lush nature of her surroundings. She graduated as a graphic designer from the Universidad del Desarrollo in Chile. Throughout her life, art was present intuitively, but it was at the beginning of the pandemic that Antonia took a decisive step towards her identity as a self-taught artist. Initially, she created figurative works using colored pencils and watercolors, capturing the essence of nature in her compositions. Over time, Antonia evolved towards large-scale abstract painting, focusing her work on expressing the feelings that arise from the connection with nature. Her abstract works reflect a deep emotional exploration and a search for the very essence of life and the natural environment that surrounds her.
Through her painting, Antonia Prida invites us to embark on an artistic journey interweaving rustic and minimalist elements, nature, visual peace, and a palette of earthy colors. Her artistic focus centers on simplicity and the elimination of superfluous elements, allowing subtle details and natural forms to come to life in her compositions. Nature acts as her main source of inspiration, and through careful observation and a thorough study of landscapes and natural elements, Antonia manages to capture the essence and serenity of the beauty that lies within them. Her carefully applied brushstrokes seek to reflect a visual experience in line with her earthy color palette, composed of warm and natural tones.
These colors evoke a sense of warmth and connection to the land, while simultaneously conveying a feeling of harmony and serenity. Through her skillful combination and application, Antonia aims to capture the essence and peaceful beauty of nature. Visual space also plays a crucial role in her style. By employing large formats, she grants viewers an immersive and expansive experience. These generous spaces allow natural elements to unfold freely, inviting us to immerse ourselves in a peaceful and contemplative world. Antonia’s goal as an artist is to convey a sense of peace and visual freedom through her work.
