artist statement and inspiration

“My Ethereal body of work is designed especially for Interior Design and is a developed extension of my Contemporary Luxe series that features organic circular fluid forms. The Ethereal works are extremely delicate and light in a way that seems not to be of this world. They are inspired by Australia’s beautiful oceans, harbours, memory, meditation, music, culture and essence of life.” - Lara Scolaris

This stunning original artwork on canvas is from the Lara’s ‘Vim Vitae’ Series created in 2019. This current body of work captures the life force that bubbles and bursts invisibly all around us, and burns just as brightly in our body and minds even as we sit still; especially as we sit still. Celebrating our creative energy Lara’s paintings are a reminder that renewal is a constant available to all of us. Her signature organic motifs are conjured into shape with rope and other natural materials and rendered in swirls of ink up to 40 layers deep.

“I create landscapes of life force. tapping into vibrations and responding to the moment."

- Lara Scolari
