BIOGRAPHY
Aloria studied the human form through Life Drawing, Sculpture, Oil Painting, Anatomy & Physiology courses, and hands-on through Massage Therapy. After exploring a variety of mediums as a young artist, including bronze metal casting, ceramic sculpture, photography, etching & printmaking, she dedicated herself to oil painting, and has now been painting for well over a decade. Several years ago, she began a deep exploration of sacred geometry and pattern, and is currently focused on an integration of these elements, an expansion of the mind and spirit, and a quest for the ‘Truth at the Heart of All Things’.
Along with sculptress Carley Parrish, Aloria co-curated a gallery in Buffalo, NY, which exhibited cutting-edge, evocative works in a variety 0f mediums, hosting regular art openings which evolved into cultural happenings. She also co-curated the Plant Gallery in Buffalo, NY, which played host to a number of resident artists, showcasing a wide range of styles, from classical to pop-surrealist.
Aloria at Galerie 10 in Vienna, Austria
Aloria has shown her work in a multitude of prestigious locations in the US, including Alex Grey’s MicroCoSM Gallery in NYC, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Oregon, the Hive Gallery and the Temple of Visions Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Throughout Europe, Aloria’s artwork has been exhibited and sold in Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and Holland. Most recently notable among these was a group exhibition at the Galerie 10 in Vienna, Austria.
Underlying all of Aloria’s work is a belief that the highest function of a human being is to love, and the highest function of Art is to point to the transcendental spiritual nature of all beings- to expand the otherwise limited perceptions of the material and physical world. It is her belief that to assume the highest role of an artist is to reveal hidden truths, to work ceaselessly for the benefit of all sentient beings, to live from the heart. To this end, Aloria practices Ahimsa, the Yogic discipline of non-harming, and adheres to a compassionate and peaceful vegan lifestyle.
