Artist Statement:
“To find true liberation and reach your fullest potential, it is essential to embrace your authentic self, venturing fearlessly into uncharted territories where your inner essence resides.
Within my artwork, the image transcends mere physicality, serving as a gateway to a larger dimension. It becomes a vessel for expressing the complexities of the human condition, unearthing the hidden realities, emotional echoes, and fragments that propel us forward or set our pace. Through my art, I strive to bridge the gap between these inner realms and the conscious plane from which we navigate and exist.
At times, my approach takes on a subtle form, as seen in the evocative series “HAPPENING NOW,” which suggests the possibility of cultivating healthier and more positive connections with our surroundings.
Other times, my work exudes a potent energy, as witnessed in the series “Of Light and Shadow.” This series compels immediate action through gestural strokes and intricate layers of nuanced markings, urging viewers to engage deeply with their own sense of agency.
My body of work remains timeless yet contemporary, allowing the image to evoke and inspire, while leaving its message open-ended. I believe in granting viewers the power to shape the narrative through their own unique interpretations, fostering a dynamic interplay between the artwork and the observer “.
“Through my work and technique, I seek to recreate life itself: motion and stillness, light and shadow, what is seen and the subtle layers of existence that long to be revealed. Only through deep exploration does my true, personal language arise. For me, it is in the coherent convergence of time, gesture, and movement that the image emerges, and my soul finds its voice.”
Carla D’ Amato
BIO
Carla’s artistic journey was shaped early by a formative encounter with Argentine master Benito Quinquela Martín, a pivotal moment that sparked a lifelong devotion to drawing and to the expressive depth of graphite and charcoal.
Rooted in Buenos Aires and informed by years of living across diverse landscapes and cultures, Carla’s work grew from a close observation of life’s contrasts and the human condition. With an architectural foundation and European training that expanded her technical range, she refined a disciplined craft while continuously pushing the boundaries of image, material, and meaning.
Through an intense, ongoing exploration, Carla developed her own authored technique: Performance Painting. Here, gesture, movement, time, and matter converge into a living language. The image is never merely physical, but a gateway into a wider dimension, revealing hidden realities, emotional echoes, and the inner forces that propel us forward or define our pace. Her practice moves between subtle, contemplative atmospheres and works charged with urgency and energy, always inviting the viewer into a direct experience of agency, presence, and interpretation.
Timeless yet contemporary, her body of work remains intentionally open-ended. Carla believes in granting viewers the power to complete the narrative through their own unique perception, creating a dynamic interplay between artwork and observer.
Carla’s creations find residence in numerous private collections across the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and the United States. She has achieved recognition through participation in leading U.S. art fairs and high-end shows, including Art Wynwood, Red Dot Miami, Art Miami Context, Art Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, and LA Art Show.
Carla is represented by several Art Dealers and Galleries worldwide
