"In painting as in life, there is more to it than what meets the eye".

 

Linda Chido is an American-born and Austin-based artist, who is widely recognized for her skillful approach to representational painting. Her paintings traverse various styles, encompassing figurative, surreal, and abstract elements, while consistently delving into deeply personal subject matters.

​

Since reemerging in 2019, Chido has recommitted to her craft with unwavering dedication. Whether painting with watercolors, acrylics, water-soluble oils, or traditional oil paints, Linda is continually venturing beyond familiar horizons to hone her technical prowess.

​

Although Chido's art is rooted in her personal narrative, her ultimate aspiration lies in unveiling the enigmatic facets of life. She views life as a layering of things we can see and things we cannot, and it is through painting that she endeavors to navigate and express concepts that elude verbalization. Her artistic intent is to create imagery capable of evoking powerful emotions that foster connections and engender conversations that transcend individual experiences.
