Cheeky Radiance - Cara Loconte

‘Cheeky Radiance,’ features a bright, mischievous cockatoo that reflects the humour and personality found in nature. The work invites viewers to step back from self-seriousness and embrace the joy, playfulness, and unpredictability that exist in both the natural world and ourselves. Each artwork is painted on a stretched canvas, float framed in solid Tasmanian Oak. measuring 30x30cm. 
 
Artist Statement 
 
Through a dynamic process using mixed media and oil paint, I create layered works that merge portraiture, animals, and nature. My art explores light and dark both visually and emotionally, reflecting the complexity of the human experience. Inspired by Frida Kahlo, I use animals and natural elements as symbolic extensions of emotion and self, inviting viewers to form an emotional connection with the work.
