Reflections on Gratitude — Debut Solo Exhibition by Carina Robertson
Carina Robertson is a contemporary painter recognised for her expertise in both oil and soft pastel mediums. Her work delves into the dynamic relationships between light, colour, texture, and movement. Robertson’s practice spans a variety of subjects, including intimate still life, contemplative portraits, gentle landscapes, emotive seascapes and abstract explorations.
Utilising two distinct mediums Carina paints with notable versatility. Her oil paintings feature richly layered impasto and a luminosity achieved through traditional methods, imparting depth and permanence to her pieces. Conversely, her pastel works are distinguished by immediacy and vibrancy, leveraging pure pigment and velvety textures to convey atmospheric transitions and fleeting moments with precision and energy.
A self-taught artist, Carina has pursued an intensive creative journey over the past decade, focussing on expressionism within her painting practice. Her early development was shaped by mentorship from Australian artists John Wilson and, more recently, Todd Whisson. Tutelage under Maltese artist Julian Hyzler during a residency in Italy inspired her to recreate what she sees to how it feels.
Currently, she resides and maintains a studio on her farm near Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, where the natural surroundings continually inform her artistic vision—both within the farmhouse and beyond. Her distinctive approach emphasises the emotional impact of colour and the subtle geometric structures present in her environment, seeking to capture the “beauty around in everyday life”.
