The imaginal world of Uslada

Uslada, an international artist currently based in Lugano, Switzerland works in a distinctive style that she calls Imaginal Symbolism - bold, symbolic works in which vivid archetypes are woven into mystical narratives. Praised in the early stages of her artistic parcours by Marcel Paquet, a Belgian philosopher and author of many books about such well-known artists as Magritte, Miró, Botero and Calder, Uslada’s art has evolved into a medium for exploring the mystical aspects of life and the human soul.

“Every form dissimulates the endless movement of the forces which compose it; Uslada brings these forces to light, and gives visual expression to their vibrations, their dancing, whirling intricacy.”

Marcel Paquet, Belgian philosopher and art writer
"Uslada's paintings are narratives filled with mystical symbols and archetypes, pushing beyond the material to uncover spiritual truths. 'When I make my art, I dance with the Divine. I become a spiritual alchemist,' Uslada explains, describing her art as a transformative process.

“Kandinsky’s spirit lives. Bold colors. Flights of imagination. Enchanting light and joyful images. All of those Kandinsky hallmarks can be discovered in the flowers, fish, 'paradise of sounds,' magic spells, and the intoxicating rhythms of Uslada, an East European born artist daring to combine whimsical fascinations with luminous 'meditative' journeys into Nature and the soul. But more than a colorist attuned to butterflies and flamboyant explorations of life’s confounding verities, Uslada takes us on an uplifting ascent with her 'paintings from the heart.' She leads us towards dreamscapes, to a lush canvas alive with inspiration and freedom-loving imagery."

Edward Kiersh, American journalist
“This exhibition [The Imaginal World of Uslada] is a fascinating opportunity to engage with a unique artistic interpretation of reality.”

The alchemy of art & music

Uslada’s paintings explore the mystical dimensions of life and the human soul. From the start, they’ve pulsed with vibrant, dynamic energy, as if music itself had crystallized into color and form. Music has always been Uslada’s important source of inspiration, and now, it plays an even more active role in her creative process. Though painting remains the artist’s primary medium, she has recently begun composing her own electronic tracks.

What once fueled her canvases now synchronizes with them in perfect harmony. Every video on Uslada’s YouTube channel fuses her original electronic music with artwork, blending archetypal narratives into immersive, meditative experiences.
