This large collection wishes to capture the different color and shape formations of clouds and rainbows utilizing a mixed technique of adding and scraping oil paint both on canvas and on wooden boards. With daily observation, sketching, and photography of the clouds in my local area, Australia, and the imaginative recollection of my memories, I like to create dreamy-like artwork, wanting to engage and inspire the audience in many different layers.

My fascination with flowers has always been so strong in my art and I love painting flowers of different kinds. Flowers have been the key theme for many artists all over the world, bringing joy and colour to any interior. In my practice, I like to mix the adding and scraping technique utilizing different layers of oil paint with an intuitive modus operandi.

Biography
As a multi-disciplinary artist Gaia focuses focus on experimental art utilising a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques. Drawing from her classical Italian education in Architecture, Gaia explores the spiritual, physical and emotional connections between humanity and nature.
Working within a strong conceptual framework, Gaia mainly utilises sculpture, painting and photography to create unique site-specific installations. Within a visionary and playfulness framework, Gaia aims to influence the viewer perception through a physical, emotional, and aesthetic experience.
Tapping into cultural memories, environmental issues & spirituality, Gaia’s work –both in painting and drawing– exists at the boundaries of abstraction, influenced by minimalistic landscape and the movement of the figure: her work combines movement and stillness with the use of powerful brushstrokes and clean surfaces.

Rooted in the natural world, Forever Clouds is a visually captivating site-specific installation that teases our perception of reality. Including semi-abstract paintings, minimalistic sculptures, and a full height installation with symbolic lightning, this exhibition engages a broad generational audience, inviting one’s unique interpretation of the timeless and unbounded formations of clouds. Conveying feelings of wonderment and playfulness, Forever Clouds instigates many possible layers of meaning: from self-reflection to a broader collective cognition of the life changing events we’re facing today, this exhibition also wishes to contemplate the beauty of our natural environment, while aspiring to preserve it and respect it.
In speaking about her process, the artist explains, 'Painting is an emotional and intuitive process for me...I always strive to find harmony within the different techniques I utilise. I love to re-create things, playing with the mediums, stretching their meanings...'
