Amanda Soltis is a New York City based self-taught visual artist, specializing in works that explore themes of identity, emotion, and connection. Central to Amanda's practice is the profound ability of hands to communicate human stories through the eyes of a woman. Through deep understanding of gesture, her paintings transform hands into emotional landscapes, revealing tenderness, conflict, or longing in their smallest movements.

 

Incorporating symbolic elements like fabrics and botanical motifs, Amanda crafts multilayered narratives that invite viewers to interpret and feel beyond the surface. Each piece is a dialogue between fragility and strength, as seen in works like “Pressure Point!”, where hands gently interact with a patterned scarf, juxtaposing intricate beauty with raw vulnerability.

 

Rooted in both technical precision and personal introspection, Amanda’s art serves as an invitation to connect—to the self, to others, and to the unspoken emotions that define the feminine experience.
