From the words of Dr. Anton Biderman: “Adiva Or paints in an abstract manner,she is a quality artist who challenges the human thought and imagination in a professional and experiential manner..”
Yoel Emet writes: "In her paintings, there exists a documentation of a volcanic eruption of emotions and self-testing of creation processes, personal growth and empowerment in vibrant colors where fiery colors – red and yellow – are dominant. The images burst out from the canvas on to the viewer..The artist discovers, in an abstract manner that which is hidden inside as an impression of real experiences that strive for universes that can only be reached in one’s imagination.”
Adiva’s work, in her own words:
“The act of painting enables me to discover that which is hidden within me, and through it I construct my world, an abstract world with concrete reminders, as a dialog that feeds and develops between the inside and out; between the human emotion and wonder in front of multiple images and dimensions, toward those which I yearn to reach, know and understand."
