CIMA Awards
The CIMA Awards were created to promote and applaud films, television programs, and other entertainment forms that uplift the spirit and exemplify what it means to be part of the human family. CIMA recognizes those projects and people in the entertainment industry who, by their work, manifest these values.
About the CIMA Award ...
Each CIMA Award is an original, signed abstract expressionist work in laminated acrylic by the Yugoslav born artist, Vasa Mihich. Naturalized an American citizen in 1967, Vasa is a Professor of Art at the University of California at Los Angeles and is internationally recognized for his work. His artwork "affirmatively confronts the spiritual and physical surroundings from which it arises, and is seeking its place."
This piece was chosen to symbolize the ideals of CIMA because its obliquely ascending, three-sided, luminous prism represents our human and imperfect reach to capture the Light of the Trinity in illuminating our work. In containing the same elements of beauty of this sculptural piece, we honor our colleagues' works as "vehicles of light" and express our gratitude to them for presenting the complex colors of the human condition.
