Angelina Mirabito is a Melbourne-based artist. She works with the frequency of colour and emotion. Her work is raw, yet sophisticated. She’s self-taught. Her conventional education includes a PhD in the therapeutic value of creative writing. She has since discovered that by working with colour on canvas, she can say so much more with palette knives than through words. She seeks to create on canvas an experience of connection with one’s inner life and feelings of inner beauty.
Each painting begins with an emotion or confusion that is meditated on through painting with palette knives that cut through colour and limitation. She keeps painting until the inner obstacle is resolved and therefore transformed through colour on canvas. The painting is complete in that moment of recognition that the canvas now reflects what she finds impossible to explain.
Angelina cares deeply about expanding awareness on invisible disability, in ways that hopefully go on to empower people who struggle to navigate life alongside the effects of complex post-traumatic stress disorder. She believes that the presence of art has the power to make a positive difference and transform how one experiences public and private spaces.
