I’ll be honest, PonArsher has art pieces can hit you like a slow, deep breath you didn’t know you needed. Her paintings don’t just sit there looking pretty. They sigh, laugh, and sometimes stare right through you, like they’ve read every page of your diary. Weird but oddly comforting.

As I first stumbled on her page, the art made me curious about the artist, and Pon, a self-taught artist from Chisinau, Moldova, surely has her way of making paint connect with you skin to skin. As I read about her, it made sense that she grew up trading playground chatter for the scratch of charcoal on paper, and you can see that early intimacy with art in every brushstroke.

Her pieces walk this fine line between realism and abstraction, the way emotions do, never entirely clear, never entirely chaotic. Pieces like Hidden Chapters would definitely stop you in your tracks, and with Edge of Infinity you’ll be in between feeling seen and challenged all at once.

What I love most? She doesn’t hide the messy parts. Her time-lapse videos show the awkward starts, the strokes she paints over, the moments she hesitates. It’s art as a living thing, and it’s why her audience has grown from a small Chisinau studio to hundreds of thousands of people watching, feeling, and responding.

Then there’s She. That one might stay with you for days. The wire mesh she uses makes the whole thing feel like it’s breathing through a scar; fragile but impossible to break.

Even her approach to selling her work feels intentional. No big sales pitch, just a quiet line in her bio: “A self-made artist. For purchase, email me.” It’s so her; allowing the art do the talking.

With Pon Arsher, you always reminded that creativity isn’t about polishing yourself for the crowd; it’s about listening to your own rhythm, even when it’s messy or strange. She makes you feel, and in that feeling, you remember, you’re creating something too.
