By: Artist, Soraida Soraida is a fine artist known as the creator of Verdadism, a painting genre that in 1992 boldly marked the socially conscious movement of today, which advocates social change. Recognized for her innovative artistic achievements, Soraida was chosen in 2008 and 2009 as one of the 15 most prominent Hispanic Americans in the arts shaping the United States cultural scene. Verdadism is a form of hard-edge abstraction consisting of two distinct, yet integral parts: the visual component and the written commentary. Soraida created the word Verdadism by combining the Spanish word for truth (Verdad) and the English suffix for theory (ism). This art style has influenced the work of many contemporary artists and writers and the Verdadism paintings are being used by educators nationwide to teach diversity and a deeper understanding of the human soul and tolerance. Soraida was born in Harlem, New York City, in 1956. Since 1986, she has also owned a socially conscious art and design studio.
