grounded
Zara Fina Stasi
at the Mariboe Gallery
Imagine you are standing outside. And you look straight up. Then you look straight down.
Those two views of nature inspired these paintings.
Inspired by the deep observation of organic forms, patterns, shapes, and colors.
Each captures a different view with different elements - water, sky, rocks, shells, leaves, sand, seeds, plants, clouds, ground.
Grounded in our planet’s endlessly inspiring nature.
