Conchita Carambano
Conchita Carambano was born in Stuttgart to spanish parents. she immigrated to Australia in 1969 and now lives in Sydney. Her multi-layered and richly textured paintings reflect both the scale and antiquity of the Australian landscape. She uses a strong earthy palette , overlaid with gold and silver leaf foil to convey her impressions of a sunburnt Australian outback.
Since completing post graduate studies in Fine Art in 1983, Carambano has had a number of highly successful exhibitions throughout Australia, is represented in the National Library Collection in Canberra and has won four significant art prizes
