"There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love." ~Don Juan deMarco
About the Artist
After exploring a variety of mediums, including metal casting, ceramic sculpture, photography, and printmaking, Aloria dedicated herself to oil painting, and has been painting for over a decade. Aloria studied the human form for a number of years, then began exploring sacred geometry and pattern, and is subsequently focused on the integration and interrelationship of those elements.
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 human beings- the capacity for an evolved and integrated harmonious existence with all life. It is her belief that to assume the highest role of an artist is to work ceaselessly for the benefit of all living beings, to live from the heart. To this end, Aloria practices Ahimsa, the Yogic discipline of non-harming, and adheres to a peaceful and compassionate vegan lifestyle.
Aloria has shown her work in a multitude of prestigious locations in the US, including the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Oregon, Alex Grey’s CoSM Gallery in NYC, Fenario Gallery in Oregon, and the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Throughout Europe, Aloria’s artwork has been exhibited and sold in Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Holland.
