A luminous gold-on-white painting featuring RETNA’s iconic calligraphic script, Kindness blends abstract lettering with a calm, balanced layout. The intricate glyphs—drawn from a global mix of typographies—flow in rhythmic columns, evoking sacred text and urban poetry. The textured, metallic lines catch the light, adding depth to the simple composition: rich textures and sparkling enamel give the work a tactile, glowing presence.

A quintessential example of RETNA’s fusion of ancient form and contemporary style, offering a subtle, thoughtful take on his distinctive visuals.

Retna

Los Angeles-based artist RETNA accesses spaces between text-based imagery and abstract emotive states with his mysterious lines of verse. Each block of text is a sophisticated system of hieroglyphs, calligraphy and illuminated script. With influences from Arabic, Egyptian, Hebrew, Anglo-Saxon (or Old English) and Native American typographies, RETNA’s distinctive language communicates a personal form of poetry. RETNA’s messages are masked in ciphers: words and meanings that are never immediately revealed, nor capable of being accurately translated. He employs ancient totemic symbologies as a baseline, overlaid with beats from the urban jungle (sourced from his background in Los Angeles, born from Pipil – western indigenous El Salvadorian – Cherokee, Spaniard, and African-American bloodlines. These diverse subcultures are channeled into his work, often accompanied (either in the studio or on the street) by a stream of ambient or musical sounds. It is this multi-sensory experience that is brushed onto the surface for RETNA: a synthesis of auditory and visual content, spontaneously manifested.
