CONCXHITA CARAMBANO

ABSTRACT PAINTINGS

‘Through a fusion of vibrant and unexpected colour, Ms Carambano generates a strongly individualized interpretation of her natural surroundings and experiences.’ 

Conchita Carambano’s textured paintings are filled with a fusion of light,  colour  and a dash of metallic leaf, and have  a nuance of  playfulness in  abstracted figures etched into the canvas. No canvas is alike even with the restraint of pallet in some works.

Her  work is full of the joy of the enchantment  of working with paint and canvas. Conchita’s work has consolidated with her progressive reputation as an established, collectible artist.

The series depicts an emergence of less abstracted works with small elements of the figurative, which is unlike any of her previous painting. Her work creates a strongly individual interpretation of her natural surroundings and experiences.

The painting technique has been  refined over 30 years as a mid career artist working with both canvas and paper mediums. The progress of the work is not determined by time as her painting schedule may take up 16 hours on any day.

The colours, texture and content of her paintings have proven over time to be most intuitive, which explains her success with commissioned works including the National Canberra Library and the new Sydney Hilton. 

Viewing her work is both absorbing and complex. The work is composed of layers, mixed medium detail, and subtleties of colour, light and  form.
