AVAILABLE WORK Original abstract paintings exploring the intersection of landscape, memory, and interior space. Bespoke fine art prints are also available on request.

Available Works brings together a curated selection of original paintings from across Gaia Starace's multidisciplinary practice. Inspired by the Australian landscape and informed by her background in architecture and fine art, the works explore memory, materiality, and place through abstraction.

Created through an intuitive process of layering, experimentation, and play, Gaia works across acrylic, charcoal, ink, oil paint, oil pastels, and graphite, combining expressive brushwork with bold gestural lines and recurring freehand drawings. Architectural forms, amphorae, and fragments of landscape emerge as intuitive motifs, creating compositions that sit between memory, landscape, and imagination. This Private Room presents a selection from her ongoing studio practice, including works developed for exhibitions, site specific projects, and private collections.

Conceived as enduring elements of interior space, the paintings invite quiet contemplation within residential, commercial, and hospitality environments.

About the Artist

Gaia Starace is an Australian-Italian multidisciplinary artist, architect, interior designer, and Interior Design lecturer at TAFE NSW, based in Sydney. Holding a Bachelor of Architecture from La Sapienza University of Rome and a Master of Fine Art from UNSW Art & Design, her practice moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, ceramics, interiors, and site-specific installations.

Alongside her independent studio practice, Gaia creates original artworks for her own interior design projects, developing site-responsive collections that become an integral part of the architecture rather than an addition to it. Drawing from the Australian landscape and her Italian heritage, she creates immersive environments where art, architecture, and design become one continuous language.

Commissions

Gaia welcomes commissions for residential, commercial, hospitality, and workplace interiors. Whether created as part of her own interior design projects or in collaboration with architects, designers, and private clients, each artwork is developed in response to the architecture, scale, materiality, and atmosphere of its setting. Commissions range from intimate works to large scale paintings, with colour palettes and compositions thoughtfully tailored to each project.

Fine art prints are available by enquiry in a range of sizes.

ACQUA & SASSI

Acqua & Sassi is a forthcoming limited edition collection of handcrafted ceramic objects for everyday living. Produced in small numbers, it comprises water jugs, cups, bowls, plates, serving dishes, and sculptural vases that celebrate the quiet rituals of gathering and sharing.

Hand-built using slab construction, each piece sits between architecture, sculpture, and function. Finished with luminous aqua glazes inspired by the meeting of water and stone, the forms balance clean geometry with the subtle traces of the maker's hand.

The collection is currently in production and will be available soon. In the meantime, enquiries are welcomed for commissions, bespoke pieces, and early access to the first release.

AVAILABLE WORK

This Private Room presents a selection of paintings previously exhibited at Herk Alexander Gallery.

Each work draws upon the colours, textures, and rhythms of the natural landscape, translated through layered gestures, subtle tonal shifts, and expressive mark-making. While each painting stands independently, together they reflect an ongoing dialogue between landscape, architecture, and cultural memory.

Together, these works are conceived not simply as artworks, but as enduring elements of interior space, inviting quiet contemplation within residential, commercial, and hospitality environments.

CASA/HOUSE

CASA / HOUSE is an ongoing multidisciplinary body of work that was presented across two solo exhibitions: CASA / HOUSE: Interior of Abstract Memories at The Art Space on The Concourse, Chatswood, and CASA / HOUSE at Gang Gang Gallery, Lithgow. The collection brings together abstract paintings, limited edition ceramics, poetry, and installation to explore the idea of home as both a physical place and an emotional landscape.

LE MAREE

Le Maree is a series of abstract paintings exploring the cyclical rhythm of the tides and the quiet transformation of the coastline. Built through successive layers of acrylic, oil and mineral pigments, each work reflects the continuous dialogue between water, sand, and stone, where movement gradually becomes memory.

Rather than depicting the landscape, the paintings distil its essence through gesture, texture, and subtle tonal variation. The marks echo erosion, sediment, and the traces left by receding water, creating compositions that exist between abstraction and landscape.

Created for Sabbia Residence, Le Maree invites contemplation of nature's slower rhythms and the enduring relationship between architecture, place, and time.

LUCE RIFLESSA

Luce Riflessa is a series of monochromatic paintings investigating the ephemeral nature of reflected light upon water. Working almost exclusively in black and white, the series removes colour to focus on gesture, contrast and atmosphere, allowing light itself to become the subject.

Each composition captures a fleeting moment where reflection dissolves into abstraction, transforming the changing surface of water into expressive marks that suggest movement rather than representation.

Together, the works explore absence as much as presence, revealing how light has the ability to define space, alter perception and quietly shape our emotional experience of an interior.
