Welcome
Aida Cui’s canvases smolder with color and light. They are a beacon to a verdant landscape peopled with odalisques and Amazons.
Their faces and bodies beckon and challenge, drawing the viewer’s eye through a journey of unfettered imagination, an inner world of symbols and paradoxes.
Aida’s wry understanding of the human psyche and her use of mythological allusions brings us beyond mere icons and symbols.
They reveal Aida’s affinity for the exotic and her exploration for meaning within this milieu.
Aida’s art reflect her rich exuberance.
They sing with a spirit for which pleasure is both justification and aim, and are the portals through which we can enter her incandescent world.

About
Who is Aida Cui? What is she? Aida Cui is everything she was not raised to be. She was raised to be a good Catholic girl of conservative parents, with the refinements and training provided by an exclusive school of girls run by French nuns for the upper crust of the Philippines. Given the social constraints of class at the time of her generation, formal training for a young woman who loved painting, was not an option. Aida graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Literature from the Assumption Convent of Makati, Philippines. Hers was a background of abundance and excess, filled with matching personalities, who now also people her canvases.
