« Art is in my blood and every cell of my body. It gives me life, and I hope to make a difference by using my gift for the greater good of humanity at large. »
Vida Khadem is an exciting Afghani painter who has exhibited her work throughout the United States. Drawn to mysteries of life and driven by a love of philosophy, science, astronomy and psychology, she seeks to apply her learnings to her art through visual explorations of a range of topics. Her primary thematic focus is the meaning of life, and she uses intriguing figures, interesting colour combinations and intense expressions to unpack and ponder various facets of the topic.
