About

My work begins with accumulation — layers of paint, material, and time that build toward something I can't fully anticipate. I am drawn to the moment when a surface becomes more than itself, when texture and color conspire to suggest depth, memory, or weight.

Working primarily in oil and mixed media, I move between abstraction and the residue of observed experience. The studio is a place of sustained attention — slow looking, slow making. Each work is a record of that duration.

I am based in Chelsea, New York, where I maintain a working studio and exhibit regularly with galleries and institutions in the city.

FRADA is an emerging visual artist based in Chelsea, New York. Her practice spans oil painting, acrylic, mixed media, watercolor, and drawing, with a focus on the materiality of the painted surface and the relationship between gesture and form.

She has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions across New York City, including The Painting Center, Abrons Arts Center, and Chelsea Studios. Her work is held in private collections in the United States and Europe.
