Past Contest Finalists & Awarded Artists – Circle Foundation for the Arts

The artist selected for a personal artist book is Risa Wada (painter, Malaysia)

In her late 40s, 2016, she publishes her first Wild Desert Cactus Collection. An artwork she inspired from the moment of her cat – Toro gazing at the cacti continuously. She flickers and contemplates Toro sights world around him. Simultaneously, her curiosity in Mother Nature peaked as she imagined how the soul or spirit in cacti, plants, and trees remain unknown to humans, as though they are aliens. Progressively, She mixed two common aspects of life: Mother Nature and Human Emotions. She curated a figure, ANIMA appearance throughout her artwork as a point of view.

This month, we asked artists to show us work that was recently created which was inspired by and dealt with the current pandemic and social distancing. This novel situation has had an impact globally, not only on our political and economical lives as citizens, but maybe most importantly, on our personal and social life, our everyday habits, and the way we connect with each other and with our communities. Artists have a distinctive way of perceiving, visualizing and communication and in this important historical moment, artists’ voices become immensely important in providing insight into the present moment.
