“For me, every painting and every book is a new adventure, started with a thrill of excitement and anticipation.”
Rosa Fedele is an Australian contemporary artist and author. Originally from Sydney, she studied at the prestigious Julian Ashton Art School, and is now based in the beautiful Southern Highlands, NSW.
Unconstrained by conventional expectations, her work is genre-defying, often veering into the world of whimsy. Her preferred medium is oil, her style a blend of figurative, illustrative and a touch of absurdism.
Whimsical, playful and nostalgic, the DREAM MACHINES series is a vibrant and joyful collection of works celebrating vintage cars and Italian scooters, often accompanied by darling doggos and romantic beauties from the silver screen.
“I’m passionate about preserving these wonderful old beasts on canvas; reflections and sunshine flashing off seductively curvaceous chrome, the patina of old duco, bumpers wrapped lovingly around steel bodies, the layers of colour and texture and, of course, delicious red rust. DREAM MACHINES will take you on a heart-warming and nostalgic ride in your favourite classic convertible, Italian silk scarf billowing in the breeze and faithful hound by your side.”
Rosa’s work has been exhibited in NSW Parliament House and Parliament House Canberra, as well as numerous galleries and exhibitions in Australia and worldwide.
