RAISA
Raisa Torres
Pittsburgh,
PA
Medium:
Painting “I have always been an artist. I just forgot for nearly two decades,” states Raisa Torres.
“Then, one day, my husband gave me a brush and an easel, and something inside me came back to life. I remembered how much I had to say—and that the only way I knew how to say it was through creating. Through color, through line, through emotion. Through connection, sadness, joy, and everything in between.
“Now, after selling over 200 original works in the past two and a half years, I feel more inspired than ever to keep sharing my story through my art. For the collectors who have already believed in me, and for the collectors I have yet to meet. My hope is that every RAISA becomes more than a painting. That one day, my collectors will speak about their piece to their children and grandchildren—not only as something they own, but as something that moved them, stayed with them, and became part of their family's story.”

What advice would you give to a young artist just starting out?
You can't make a masterpiece watching Netflix. Pick up the brush, and start painting.
How is your work a reflection of you?
I have always been fascinated by what truly moves a human being: the connections of love, the memories of friendship, the pain and remorse carried through difficult times. All of these moments are perfectly strung together, forming the unique experiences that shape who we are. Through the colors I choose, I want to create a gentle nod to my country while also offering everyone a moment to also reflect like I do about life.
What do you want people to feel or think when they see your work?
I would love to say that everyone feels joy and love when they look at my work. But the truth is, if someone hates it, that is a powerful response too. To feel something deeply—whether it is love, discomfort, curiosity, or resistance—means the work has done what it was meant to do. For me, that is success.
