Ariana Slome
Ariana Slome is an artist who was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Ariana has dedicated her life to learning and teaching art. Outside of working in the fashion industry, Ariana has volunteered with organizations such as Project Sunshine and most recently Coach Art; helping children with chronic illness to learn the joys of creating art. As an adult who has dealt with chronic health issues, Ariana felt it was important to share her passion for art to a community that she deeply related to. After being bed bound for four years due to her own health issues, she felt the need to use art as therapy and a new path for healing. During 2022 and 2023, Ariana studied embroidery at the prestigious École Lesage in Paris. Since returning home, she has focused on her skateboard series, culminating in the solo exhibition Grace of Impact at Exhibit A Gallery. She currently works out of her Downtown Los Angeles studio as an artist at Mohilef Studios.
About the Collection
The delicate precious porcelain often loses its appeal once damaged, yet it is the resilience of beauty after impact that I fell in love with. What is traditionally discarded becomes, for me, a site of devotion—where fragility, force, and care converge.
This collection reflects a process I slowly learned to honor. With Grace of Impact, I return to porcelain not as something to preserve, but as something to endure. Each fracture records a moment of collision—physical, emotional, or internal—transformed through patience and reassembly into something deliberate and whole.
This body of work marks my second attempt at shaping a cohesive collection, informed by years of thought, travel, and quiet observation. I’ve come to understand impact not as an ending, but as a beginning—where damage becomes a language, and beauty is defined not by perfection, but by survival and care.
I am pleased to present Grace of Impact.
