Irma Calabrese is a Lithuanian-born, Sydney-based visual artist and photographer whose artworks are intricate, intriguing, minimalistic and often sensual.
She studied many forms of art making through tertiary studies in Set Design, Jewellery and Interior Design and became most drawn to ink as the main medium for her work still whilst studying at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts in Lithuania.
Inspired by travel, nature, primitive cultures, symbols, shadow puppetry, geometric and organic shapes, human psychology and interaction, her latest work is monochromatic single continuous line ink drawings. The themes of displacement, isolation, attachment, intimacy and afterlife are explored. Her work is held in private collections in Australia, Europe and the United States.
