UNIVERSAL AESTHETICS
Lisa Axiotis - Artist | Designer
Appeal is not merely culturally bound. The world, in regard to all living and non-living matter is an intrinsically complex and beautiful manifestation of balance, scale and proportion.
To nature I attribute all my findings in expressions of artistic merit.
Medium: Airbrush
Size: 300 x 420 mm
Creating a sense of awe and majesty that is completely natural were integral to this piece.
Just as keeping the colour palette to a minimum allowed the sky and sea to merge, making them one.
 | Lost and Found My endangered Armoured Mistfrog painting - Lost and Found - is finally finshed and has been submitted for entry in the 2011 Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize. Wish me luck! |
 | Dromana Dusk This is a hero shot for an approved new development in Dromana - hope it looks warm and lovely and inviting. |
 | Sparks Cafe This stunning diptych of "Electric Lava" and "Fireflies" is featured for sale on the walls of Sparks Cafe - 424 Bridge Road, Richmond. Feel free to mosey on down, grab a drink and buy some art! |
 | Aireys Inlet
My largest and most ambitious work to date by far, spanning 2.5 x 1.2 M, this commissioned artwork was crafted exclusively for its resting place, evoking memories and the sense of calm peacefulness wished for by the patron. |
 | The Last Stand: Union City Commissioned by Chris Condon for the latest installment of the immensely popular series "The Last Stand" by Con Artist Games, this Matte Painting is your first, dark glimpse of the desolate Union City. |
 | Latest Philosophy My work recently has been created using found objects. Recycling and finding new uses for discarded objects means that my work is created using whatever I can find. I really do like the creativity that's sparked by not knowing what surface is coming next, as well as finding new methods or techniques to work with. I get an even bigger kick out of reacting to the found object i.e painting with transparent glazes on glass so that I'm still being true to the material and carving a tree in wood so that the content reflects the support.
Watch this space - I should be producing heaps of work in the very near future! |
 | Nymph Nymph is created using transulcent Acrylic Glazes to take advantage of the glass surface. I rescued the beautiful green-glass plate from a hard rubbish life. Feel free to check out the detail. |
 | Dryad Dryad is my first ever Wood Relief Carving. It can be found in the 3D section (weird?) but I struggled to find a category - not surprising considering it's a completely new medium for me. I salvaged what I believe is an old cheese platter and turned it into something new. I liked the idea of carving a tree into wood - it seemed so cyclical.

 | 2010 John Leslie Art Prize I'm very fortunate to have been shortlisted as one of the 31 finalists for this year's 2010 John Leslie Art Prize. Wish me luck! |
 | Tyrian Dawn A custom airbrushed Drum Head for Melbourne-based Band 'Tyrian Dawn' If you want to wow any surface - instruments, cars, bikes - email me via the contact page! |
 | New website! The new design and build is finally up and running. Have a browse through the gallery to see some new work! |
 | Marilyn A painting of Marilyn Monroe has been added to the gallery. It was painted for the 2008 Ararat Rock 'n' Roll festival, winning the Peoples' Choice Award. |
 | Painting of the Year The Jewelled Influence has won the Airbrush Venturi 'Painting of the Year' Award! This is very exciting for me, and I am most grateful to everyone who voted. |
 | Backlit Night Coloured Pencil piece added to the Gallery. Pencil on black card is a new technique for me. |
 | Reaper New digital painting. Maxforums Portrait Workshop Round 1 - there will hopefully be more of these. |
| The Jewelled Influence A newly completed portrait. I have a secret method now. I can't tell you what it is, it's a secret. But it's better than before. This painting really looks better in person; you can see the marks in detail. |
 | The secret New airbrushed painting added to the Traditional Gallery. |
 | Libertine New digital painting added to the gallery. Titled Libertine it's almost ironic that I've had so little time for personal work. |
 | Launch Welcome! Cheers, Lisa Axiotis |
