Welcome to my website!
Hi, I'm Carmen Lia! I'm a Canadian, York Region based Artist and I have loved to draw since I was a child. Originally an Illustrator/Designer, my artwork has evolved and blends my education, experience and skills in Graphic, Fashion and Interior Design. I enjoy painting in Acrylic, Cold Wax and Oils and Watercolours. My early artworks combine acrylic paints with various mediums to create an impasto texture with palette knives and brushes in a contemporary style.
My recent artwork captures my exploration of light and shadows in a modern, contemporary, impressionist style. Painting mostly from my imagination and references in my photography, my artwork invites the viewer into a magical world that is dreamlike and atmospheric. With vibrant colour and detailed, expressive brushstrokes, I share my interpretation of light dancing through the shadows in landscape.
“I’m always mesmerized by the effects of light in nature. How it is refracted into a kaleidoscope of colours and the incredible values in the light and shadows of the woods. I’m enjoying this creative journey and can’t wait to see where the path leads me.”
