Artist Statement
My paintings are products of words left unsaid, fears, and emotional disassociations with reality. There are no easy methods to express these concepts verbally, so I chose to visually express what words cannot.
I aspire to take on projects that take my audience on a personal voyage through my life. I want my viewers to connect and develop balance in their life through art, just as I have.
Najja Elon is an interdisciplinary creative based in Orlando, Florida.
