"All my life I’ve been an artist. I grew up happy, always drawing and painting, with paint supplies available all
over the house.” ~ Lara Scolari
Hiyah Addictees!
Welcome to this week’s Weekend Art Fix featuring shiny new works by Lara Scolari. We have everything from a Threesome to an Ode To Kandinsky.
Renowned for her distinct 'abstract expressionist' style, Lara infuses her exuberant energy, passion and joy (with a splash of fun) into her exquisite original artwork.
Irresistibly drawn to the world of art as a child, Lara embarked on her lifelong pursuit by painting a magnificent mural on a wall of her childhood home. Her parents (who gave her the green light for the mural masterpiece) worked within the art and painting industry and were always encouraging her to paint with generosity and volume - a philosophy that informs her art practice today.
Featuring organic forms and fluid shapes, Lara’s stunning works are inspired by memory, meditation, music and the culture and essence of Australia. Captivating and magnetic, each of her paintings tells a story, showcased by a translucent, veiled colour palette that reflects the natural landscape.
"My paintings provide a space for you to engage with this spectrum of energy that provokes thought, and conversation along with a sense of happiness and joy. I hope that my works evoke the freedom to transport yourself to another state of mind." ~ Lara Scolari
Enjoy!

Arty-Fact: "Bedrock I encapsulates the unseen layers of the earth and all the energy that simmers beneath the surface. The three gestural forms sit on top of one another, ascending from the bottom to the top, reflecting the physical layers of the earth. The subtle hints of amber and soft orange are symbolic of the energy waiting to flare." ~ Lara Scolari

Arty-Fact: “Wave Rocks explores the energy of water. The two large circles reflect waves crashing together, a rush of force coming to a head in the centre of the canvas. The paint moves around the canvas in circular motions, depicting the swell and currents that run through our watery ecosystems.” ~ Lara Scolari

Arty-Fact: "This painting got its name from my nephew, who looked at the piece and said it reminded him of 'honeycomb'. The soft intertwining shades of blue builds up around the canvas, creating a rhythm and momentum that pulls the viewer into the depths of the painting." ~ Lara Scolari
