Everything is Everything Art Auction and Gala 2025 by Transformer DC

I am deeply grateful for being invited to participate in the Transformer’s 21st Annual Auction Exhibition & Benefit Gala, featuring Out of Touch from my Baroque series.

Inspired by themes of interconnection and inclusivity, Transformer’s Everything is Everything Benefit Art Auction & Gala will present over 140+ artworks in a public exhibition throughout The Line DC in the heart of Adams Morgan, DC.

Canadian Ambassador to the US Kirsten Hillman will be this year’s Transformer Gala Diplomatic Chair! This timely international collaboration with the Embassy of Canada will further Transformer’s mission to advance important cultural connections for artists & audiences. All proceeds from Transcendence support Transformer and the participating artists.

The exhibition of Auction Artworks will be on view November 8-21, with the renowned Benefit Gala celebration on Saturday, November 22.

About the selected piece:

In this hybrid (analog-digital-analog) painting from my Baroque series, I combine geometric color fields and free line drawings resembling etching techniques, generated by deformed perspectives, with classical Baroque art and architectural elements to create a unique contemporary style. The arrogant and rather innocent female figure is detached and largely ignorant of her surroundings, fitting the title “Out of Touch.” I pique the interest of viewers by leaving a gap between what is recognizable and the abstract.

Process: I create digital collages from my analog studies, which I print on watercolor paper, mount on a wooden panel, and enhance with ink and acrylic paint. Therefore, each edition is unique.
