Nina Luna’s New Virtual Art Show at Culturally Arts Collective
According to Nina Luna, an artist whose work is currently exhibited at the Milostka Center for Exhibitions at Culturally Arts Collective, a canvas “is the birthplace of creation.” The themes of life, birth, and rebirth come through in each and single one of Luna’s pieces. Her paintings are vibrant and joyful, but what drew her to art in the first place is the complete opposite of that. Nina Luna found comfort and solace in the creative process when darkness felt overbearing and omnipresent. “Paint the Pain Away,” her new virtual art show by Culturally Arts Collective, tells a story of self-discovery and healing through the act of creation.

Facing financial or institutional barriers while trying to share your unique vision with the world as an emerging artist can be incredibly discouraging. Organizations like Culturally Arts Collective, a non-profit virtual art institution, understand the struggles that young creatives experience. Culturally Arts Collective provides artists with a virtual platform to showcase their works and reach global audiences. They collaborate with emerging and established artists and galleries from all over the world, showcasing their art in a 360-degree virtual gallery house, the Milostka Center for Exhibitions.
Nina Luna says she barely remembers the period of her life that lasted from the day when she was diagnosed with cancer until she went into remission. At the time, she didn’t take her artistic abilities seriously, although she always could draw. Everything changed when Luna started painting. The artist discovered her passion for the medium and saw it as an outlet for the emotional pain she was going through.
After Luna had to go through surgery for breast cancer, she saw the female body, including her own, in an entirely new light. The artist started painting intricate designs on female torsos, using them as canvases for her art. Nina Luna’s new solo show is a journey through her life, with each piece representing the various facets of her experience as a woman, artist, and survivor of a horrible disease.
Nina Luna’s story and her works are a true inspiration to anyone who is looking for hope and a reason to keep on going. Don’t miss a chance to visit her virtual art show at Culturally Arts Collective’s Milostka Center for Exhibitions. It is on view through February 16, 2024.
