ENLIVEN VISUAL ART BY ASYLA HOLT
I’m female Art painter, work with mix media on canvas and express nowadays surreal using symbolical – traditional and metaphysical concepts. The subjects intertwined with figurative have Caribbean characteristics; proposing simplicity, combined with mix bold colors and pastel abstractive nuances in between. Besides this occupation I work on Photography-Textile Art-produce Art Cards and Gem-bead and Fabric Jewelries and Creative Writings.

Art is a Creative form for expressing the feeling which comes instantaneously from intuition or instinct and put in action - it’s than visible for others to admire. Above all, it’s an integrated action between the work and the artist that finds itself into that space of exploration – contentment and commitment. A painting can strike someone’s heart looking at it and feel belonged. The Art and buyer become a connected magnetism. Along with this exploration, a heritage exist and to hold on traditionally, the artist has to go on a journey of constant change while the expressions are derived from own vision.

Simultaneously ‘Funark’ continued promoting Arts and Culture by outdoors activities like Gift and Craft shows in the Caribbean. Furthermore Asyla introduced courses to enhance talents and visual aspects. Also bodywork stretching was offered (Center Janwe and after School Tera Cora ).
