"I like to transport my mind to a calming place, inspired by memories, and complex organic elements found in nature. Playing with colors and movement, creating new compositions — my best work comes when there is the freedom to create without any strict plan. With intuition and spontaneity taking over, the result is often a surprise. To me, everything flows, and there is always a sense of balance and harmony that can emerge out of disorder. I love the ambiguous and mysterious nature of abstraction. Dark and light, luminosity. Through self-discovery and experimentation, I am allowing dynamic energy that manifests through the joy of creating. The result is loose interpretations of anything that exists between the mind and reality

About Novi Lim

Wendell, NC

I believe abstraction is the ultimate door to a very personal visual language of someone. There is hidden symbolism, memories, and attitude that is woven underneath the craft. It could be about innocence, heritage, upbringing, surrounding, yearning, the notion of beauty, and even darkness. Every deliberate movement or mark, tension, pressure, or velocity that's put into the canvas by the artist — using the love of paint, a brush, or any weapon of choice and a combination of colors is simplified, yet a more concealed visual language that's coded, composed and expressed into a work of art.

I’m interested in exploring and capturing the essence and subtle elements of the natural world. In my process, I let the freedom of movement takes shape— with soft curves, edges, and rhythmic brushstrokes. The initial flow of movement comes instinctively, followed by the layering of different techniques and detail work to achieve textural contrast, dimension, and depth. Often, imagining a burst of petals that blooms and lights up in the nighttime, or seeing something as simple as the calming gradient of the colorful sky at sundown, or the surface of water that glimmers make me wonder about the mystery of the deepest oceans — piqued my creative process and subliminal stimuli.

At the core, I am more interested in the sensorial and experiential aspects of feelings and processes. It is a collaborative event of constructing my vision and letting go of inhibition in the pursuit of harmony. Following curiosity. embracing the unknown, and drawing out what's hidden inside into something physical really gratifies me.

Working with acrylics, immediacy is an important factor in the process and it helps to retain a spontaneous quality that I love. I also enjoy dynamic line work, gradation, and a play of light and dark to give each of my works a quiet intensity.
