Influenced by major artistic figures such as Brett Whiteley, Helen Frankenthaler, John Olsen, Hans Hoffman and Mark Rothko, Lara has developed her own distinct approach to the 'abstract expressionist' style where a variety of media, developed experimental techniques and processes are used to create depth through exquisite transparent layers that reveal hidden dioramas.
Featuring organic forms and fluid shapes, her stunning works are inspired by memory, meditation, music and the culture and essence of Australia. Each of her eye-catching paintings feature a beautiful translucent veiled colour palette that reflects the natural landscape.
Lara's coveted artworks explore multilayered organic forms, lines, shapes and composition that create an enlivening space for contemplation and a resting place for thoughts. Her use of tonal combinations with rich and luscious colours has been a particular hit with some of Australia's leading interior designers including the multi-award-winning Greg Natale who has purchased Lara's exquisite pieces for many of his A List Clients. Collaborating with many design professionals, this year Lara worked with Designer Rugs Australia as well as Luxe Walls to release a Lara Scolari Collection showcasing her exquisite designs on carpet and rugs as well as luxury wall paper with exceptional quality for high end residential homes and commercial spaces all over the globe.
Lara was recently featured in the Australian television network SBS documentary Why Diversifying Is the Key to Lara Scolari's Artistic Success as well as Real Estate Lifestyle - In my Place with Abstract Expressionist - Lara Scolari together with many other print and online media networks showcasing her exciting work and her incredible journey thus far!
From North America across to Europe, Asia and Australia, Lara's Award winning art work is represented in public and private collections throughout the world.
