About
Her work has been exhibited in Australia and New York, and featured in multiple publications and across television and film, including Grand Designs Australia.
An Australian contemporary painter creating abstract works informed by nature, presence, and contemplation.
Her paintings do not seek to describe the landscape, but to hold something of its feeling — depth, movement, grounding, drift, and the quiet intelligence found beyond words. Layered surfaces, shifting forms, and spacious passages allow meaning to arrive through experience rather than explanation.
Working intuitively within a considered process, Chuquis creates paintings that invite stillness while remaining alive with energy. Scale plays an important role in her practice, with larger works offering immersive presence and a sense of atmosphere within refined interiors.
Beauty is central to her philosophy — not as decoration, but as something deeply felt, lived, and remembered. Her work reflects a belief that art can carry both emotional depth and visual elegance, enriching the spaces it inhabits.
Chuquis’ work has been exhibited in Australia and New York, and featured across television, film, and publication, including Grand Designs Australia. She is the recipient of the Artio Art Gallery New York Winner 2025 award and was a finalist in the Bluethumb Art Prize 2023.
