favorite pieces: the artist's edit · artist meet & greet with Via Boley

Austin-based artist Via Boley presents her selected work Impermanent:.

Boley’s work combines modern reflective materials with traditional painting techniques, creating layered surfaces that shift between abstraction and figuration. Her compositions explore perception, emotion, and the relationship between the viewer and the work itself. Through fractured reflections and mirrored elements, the viewer becomes part of the piece—embedded within its surface.

In Impermanent:, fluid, curved forms create a sense of movement and transformation. The work carries a lighter, more hopeful tone, capturing a fleeting moment that feels both temporary and defining. It invites a quiet confrontation, where reflection becomes both literal and emotional.

As Boley describes it, the work is about a moment that may be brief, yet shapes who we are, an experience that lingers beyond its passing.
