Lara Carew-Jones is a British artist currently living and painting near Galle in Sri Lanka.
Lara works in acrylic to produce her distinctively bold, colourful compositions that possess a strong graphic quality. Balance is her primary focus and she conveys this through her harmonious colour palette as well as the carefully designed interplay between positive and negative space.
Since graduating from Edinburgh University in 2008 with an MA in History of Art, Lara has travelled the world extensively drawing on the various cultures and unique beauty of different countries. Landscapes, buildings, people, animals, Lara brings her signature style to all subject matter she encounters. Her works are invariably imbued with a sense of calm and serenity whilst simultaneously brimming with life and vibrancy. Snapshots in time that draws the viewer in, as if they too were an observer of the scene.
Lara’s travels to India have been a particular highlight and tremendous source of inspiration. A passion for the colours, special light, architecture and bustling atmosphere she experienced there has been reignited once again following her recent travels to Morocco, which is the current focus for a series of works.
Her next travel destination will be Namibia.
Limited edition Giclee prints are available for certain images.
