Amazing Aliya’s Artwork

I’m an artist. I always loved drawing. I remember when I was abut 5 or 6, I drew a life size man on pieces of paper stuck to my wall. I would draw animals all the time. I have a few of my childhood drawings still, of which you can see below, I’ll add more as I find them!

I always wanted a fish tank! I got the most beautiful tank for my 30th birthday. I had to give the fish back to the pet shop and donate the tank when I moved to Madrid. So many tears! You can see videos of my tank on my instagram page, here is one post I love in particular: https://www.instagram.com/p/BeBfCQ4FQM4/

My best work has come from when I was most in pain.

The first time art really helped me with real life was when I was about 15 years old. I was lucky enough to have art therapy classes when I was hospitalised for depression. Encouraged to be able to channel my feelings into a piece of art I created my mermaid.

Taking an image I found on the internet and then painting her in oils over a period of about two weeks, I still have her with me, even after 17 years of moving house and country.

Abstract art also helps to focus the mind and use your hands for a good use. Sometimes trying to draw a real thing is frustrating. Abstract art with colours and shapes is a healthy way to play with what is going on inside us, without having to assign it meaning, words or labels. Doodling, sketching random shapes and layering colours is something that can help pass bad times in a productive way.

Lucky for me my hospitalisation ended soon after I completed my GSCEs. I came off the antidepressants when I left home at 17 and thankfully I started work which kept me busy!

The next time I needed my paintbrushes was when I getting divorced. Another huge amount of stress and desperate not to be on drugs (prescribed or otherwise!) to cope with real life – I was able to channel my feelings into my watercolour animals. You can see them below. I’ve given most of them away to friends.

I have a few images and videos on my instagram, here is my bronze zebra and here is a pour painting a bit more abstract.

I like illustrating so I take a real life subject, either an animal (usually a photo from the internet) or a composition of items (taking a photo helps to put it into a 2D format). Then I draw the outlines and fill in with watercolour. The photo below is of my door stop bull gift from a friend and my salt and pepper mills.

Adjustments; look at the bulls tail
Start of colour to illustrate shape
Panels of colour to give depth

Since moving to Madrid in May 2019, I have a few pieces I have brought with me for sentimental reasons. Some of them I am happy to sell, others I keep to remind me of what has happened and how I feel I can survive anything.

Never Go Back
Amazing Aliya Art Logo

Listen to yourself – Canvas

This canvas took a few months to create. Most days I would choose a pink or a blue sharpie. Pink for a bad day, Blue for a good day. Then I would write a message to myself , trying to look after for my future self. There are a couple guest appearances from friends that I trust and I gave permission to write on my Daily Practise. I have this is in my office/studio now and every so often I glance at it to remind myself that every day is different, bad ones follow good ones and good ones follow bad ones. Sometime all I need is a rest, or a break. Change is good. The best things take time to create. Decisions can happen in an instance. Nothing is a waste of time. A beautiful thing is never perfect.

The thing about art is it teaches us that nothing is perfect, that is why we love it.

Now I teach art. I want to be able to help people us their unwanted energy states by channeling that energy into something that can hold that pain and upset in a way that allows that person to live on. You can find out about my classes here.

The sales of my pieces fund my lifestyle where I can focus on helping others, if you would like to see any pieces in person, please send me a message so we can set up an appointment. aliya@amazingaliya.com , call 695272159 or whatsapp 00447826520059.

The freedom of imperfection is true liberation.

Launch Party – Amazing Art Society, Kushuro GastroBar – Photos and Details

Updated 19th October 2019

The Artwork and Artists:

You may recall the invitation to attend the unveiling of three artists work at the Peruvian GastroBar Kushuro at the start of October, below are the photos from the night and of the free art class that took place, the first of many more to come for the Amazing Art Society.

Thank you to everyone who came to support the artists, the bar and the Amazing Art Society!

All the hard work it took to put the event together paid off with some amazing results:

Over 30 pieces of art installed in a few hours.
New art never seen in public before finally on display.
Private Gallery created in a new bar.
First Art Class for the Amazing Art Society.

If you are suffering from massive FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) right now, don’t worry! You can visit the bar and still see the artwork as they will be on display until the 9th of November 2019. You can find out more details of the exhibition here.

The Amazing Art Society Class

Creation Station: Art Supplies for the Sip and Sketch Art Class

The Art Class was a great success! I asked Sabrina to model for us with short poses at the beginning, 2 and 5 minutes poses to loosen the artists hands and build confidence at putting pencil to paper. We had four of the same pose, from different angles in order to study the form of a woman from different perspectives.

Longer, seated poses followed the break when everyone could refill their glasses. Drawing is thirsty work! At the end of the class Sabrina signed a few of the drawings and we all went back upstairs to start the party!

If you would like to attend an Amazing Art Society class in the future, join me on MeetUp here and sign up to our next event!

The Party Starts!

After the art class, the music started and the party began! We had a meet and greet with the artists. Cosy groups of visitors sat and chatted together on the terrace and there were many trips up and down the stairs to view the artwork in the private space. Many smiles and many laughs!

Post Drawing Rest! Big Smiles!
Rus Hughes, helping with photography!
Rafael the Owner and our photobomb from our DJ!

All in all, it was great evening, lots of hard work and lots achieved with a small and dynamic team!

First Published 30th September 2019 –

There is great news and great progress for AmazingAliya.com! I am hosting my first Art Class in Madrid!

I’ve made a Meetup Group, Amazing Art Society. Please join to receive updates on new classes coming throughout the year. Also have a browse of the other MeetUp groups I have created.

For the FREE art class on the 9th of October, you can join the Meetup event here.

We are also having a party to celebrate the opening of Kushuro on the same day. If you want to come along to the party only, without reserving a space in the art class, please join the event on Facebook here.

Kushuro is minutes away from the famous Reina Sofía Museum of Art and the grand Atocha Station. It’s been open for only a few months and I am so happy to be helping create the launch party now!

A quick run down of the schedule: Come to the bar from 6pm for dinner, 7pm to 9pm enjoy the FREE Art Class, then stay as long as you like. Keep in mind that there will be a party atmosphere with a DJ!

Please share the news, events and groups with your friends. Feel free to join us to celebrate with us whilst trying something different!

Lots of love, Aliya

Exhibiting Norbert Rauch and Lorenze Ekegren

Prices from €30, more prices available directly from gallery.

Norbert Rauch

Norbert was sitting in the gallery when I visited, putting even more detail into some of his art pieces on his desk. I asked permission to share his work on my website and he replied “Do what you like!”

*Norbert Rauch, sitting working on his artwork in the gallery*

I got the impression as long as he could work on his art, he didn’t mind what was going on around him. Seems like an artist!

I love his style of work: if Klimt had painted what a circuit board looks like, you would have a grasp as to what these detailed striking pieces are in real life. Vivid colours, many details and characters I want to meet! Norbert is Austrian.

Lorenze Ekegren

Swedish artist with a highly detailed vision of views across cityscapes or landscapes, particularly the Sagrada Familia local to Barcelona. Each pieces is crammed with detail, brick by brick of paving, flicks of hair on a head, window panes all present and accounted for. These pieces are truely mesmerising. Well worth a visit to see in person.
