Art2Muse Gallery presents 'New Beginnings' by Conchita Carambano.Conchita Carambano's style is highly recognisable and yet profoundly enigmatic. There is an elegance and a maturity in Conchita's abstract paintings infused by an instinctive gift with colour- line and form. The Australian landscape- our earth- have been a constant source of inspiration. It has fuelled her exploration and creativity.Her vehicle for expression has been boundary-less- and the potency of her work has fuelled an extraordinary career that continues to gather momentum. Awards- acquisitions- civic and corporate commissions- solo exhibitions and the attention of private collectors in Australia- Asia and the Middle East punctuate Conchita's burgeoning 30 year career.'When I start a painting- I focus on an idea or experience I once encountered- and let my feelings take control. At times the reaction I get is that the painting starts to take on a completely new direction to the initial one I had in mind. It takes on its own character as it were- however I am its creator and to this extent I have complete control over the end result. Because I detect this 'character'- I'm able to detect the new direction that the painting is taking and stay in complete control of its final outcome. I feel this is important to an artist. I can honestly say that when I paint a painting based on a sad feeling- I can always look at it and find it very beautiful and rewarding.' - Conchita CarambanoCovid-19 guidelinesArt2Muse is a registered Covid safe business and we can accommodate up to 6 guests in the gallery.
