Intention-driven positive contemporary abstract art where fine art, wellness, and design meets
MEET THE ARTIST
Linda Horto
I am a self-taught artist, living in South West London, creating large, colourful acrylic paintings guided by positive intentions. Each piece begins with a meditation, where I connect to the message I wish to convey and is brought to life through tai chi-inspired movements, circular brushstrokes and layered compositions in complete silence. My work is both an exploration and an offering. It is an invitation for viewers and spaces to experience harmony, peace and inspiration.
Since my early teens, painting has been my sanctuary, a practice that brings presence, joy and a sense of fulfilment. Over the years, I have combined this personal journey with insights from science, yoga, tai chi, healthcare and traditional Chinese medicine, developing a process that integrates colour, energy and symbolism. Drawing on the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) and the Ba Gua, I carefully choose colours and forms that interact harmoniously, seeking to create balance, transformation and positive resonance in the spaces my work inhabits.
My style is semi-abstract, focused on energy, flow and the dialogue between intention and creation. Large canvases allow me to move around and immerse myself in the work, building layers and depth that reflect the journey from concept to completion. Smaller pieces explore subtler layers, creating intimate experiences of colour and movement. I embrace a free-flowing, intuitive approach, letting the heart guide the brush and knowing a piece is complete when it resonates fully within me.
Through my art, I aim to bring healing, calm, and joy into homes, workplaces, and healthcare environments. Each painting carries the intention of uplifting the spirit and fostering connection, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the energy of colour, movement, and intention.
