Teissi Aranda’s exhibition Pura vida showcases her growth during the last decade exploring themes of transformation, introspection, and the power of art to heal.
Her style's a bit whimsical, a bit realistic, with a focus on capturing the essence of her subjects – often native NZ birds, female portraits & flowers. The overall vibe's pretty dreamy and immersive, like stepping into a tranquil world. With a blend of Argentinian and Kiwi influences, her art creates universal yet deeply personal stories, inviting viewers to connect with the natural world and their own emotions. Pura vida means pure life ; it encourages slowing down, letting go of stress, and appreciating nature, family, and friends.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this beautiful exhibition.
