Gina Magid

Enthralled by the natural world, Gina Magid creates layered, mixed media paintings on satin, which feature brushy, abstract elements and florid images of plants, animals, and people. “Although I may not appear to be directly addressing the current issues of science and technology, these branches of study stem from the same ideas my work is dealing with: a desire for connection to other people, nature, and animals,” she says. Her work draws from observation and experimentation, mixing imagery taken from various sources to form allegorical or mythological amalgams, all with a painterly display of the artist’s hand.
