About Lisa Carney
Artist Statement
My artistic approach focuses on exploring color, textures, and shapes. My style is close to minimalistic abstract painting. Inspired by a deep intuition, I want to convey my love for nature, flora, and landscapes through my paintings.
My creative process consists of developing multiple paintings at a time, in order to better explore different ideas and divide them by themes into series. Acrylic on canvas is my primary medium, and my decisions regarding colors and how to mix them are unconscious.
As an artist, I want people to freely interpret my paintings and let their imaginations take over. My goal is to make the viewer travel and offer them a feeling of satisfaction, serenity, and peace. I also attach great importance to producing unique and inspiring works that captivate, intrigue, and spark curiosity.
