Rainbow Study

Rainbow Study is an original painting by Charlotte De Pace.

Created at the beginning of 2022, this vibrant artwork was inspired by hope for the new year, finding strength in new beginnings and the promise of silver linings in times of unrest. Rainbows are powerful symbols of hope, peace and joy and this artwork is a reminder to try and find them whenever you can.

Rainbow Study is hand-signed on the front and back and is ready to hang with wire attached (it also has a thick edge of 3.5cm allowing it to stand on a surface, see gallery image). Please note, this painting is unframed - careful attention has been paid to the sides of the canvas (see picture in gallery images) so it doesn't require framing but for an extra special finish, Charlotte recommends professional framing in a natural timber floating frame (such as the examples in the gallery images) and can be arranged through Bluethumb.

Charlotte’s artistic practice is driven by a desire to find and express a brighter side of life. Aware of the emotive power of colour and harmonious composition, she embraces a vibrant palette and finds inspiration in nature, distilling it to its purest forms to create abstract compositions. Rainbow arcs are a recurring symbol throughout her artwork, chosen for their association with hope and peace as well as their visual versatility to create interesting and unexpected forms. Through layering and juxtaposing rich, vivid colour, Charlotte gives strength and luminosity to overlapping shapes and shadows evoking a sense of harmony, simplicity and joy.

Art and art making have always been an integral part of Charlotte’s life. Following her university studies (Bachelor of Visual and Performing Arts, VCA, and Master of Art Curatorship, University of Melbourne), she enjoyed a career in exhibition management and curatorship. Over the last few years, she’s focussed on her own professional artistic practice drawing on her passion for colour and developing a distinctive abstract style.
