Conchita Carambano exhibition

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, has been a constant source of inspiration. It has fuelled her exploration and creativity.

"I’m content in the realisation that everyone that sees one of my works, do so through different interpretations, thus giving it a new ‘feeling’ to the original that I intended. I love the sense of knowing that my work takes on different interpretations and appearances when hung in unknown homes and offices. It becomes more a child born to me.

The sources that inspire me are usually found all around us – nature being the main one. During my development, I have been able to focus on nature and the incredible sensation I get from being able to transfer the feelings I encounter and the inspiration that which drives me to transfer these feelings onto virgin paper.

Because at times these inspirations come to me when I’m unable to paint, I have developed a sense whereby I ‘store’ these ideas and at times I find that when I do this I have the ability to expand on the initial idea and I feel that this sometimes take on the form of the ‘new direction’ within my painting that I sometimes encounter.

Being an artist is my life, and in no way could I imagine being, or doing, anything else."
