About the Artist
ELINA AURIEL is an independent interdisciplinary multi-hyphenate: singer-songwriter, mystic, composer, pianist, visual artist inspired by mysticism, nature, and transformation to create sacred immersive worlds.
Scrying Art (coined by Elina Auriel to define her artistic practice) is a contemplative form of layered abstract painting designed to invite meditative observation, symbolic perception and personal interpretation. Rather than depicting a fixed narrative, 'Scrying Art' reveals different forms, emotions and meanings depending on the viewer, the light and the moment of observation.

Like traditional forms of scrying (looking into water, smoke, mirrors or crystals), Scrying Art paintings are designed to become a reflective surface for the psyche.
Each work unfolds differently depending on the viewer, the surrounding light, the distance from which it is observed and even one's emotional state. Shapes emerge and dissolve. Botanical forms may become faces, landscapes may become memories, and what is hidden one day may become obvious the next.
There is no incorrect interpretation.
The artwork does not tell you what to see, it simply invites you to look within.
