March 2011 at the FEG: Carlos Da Rosa

Tree at Blomidon Cliffs
Carlos Da Rosa notes the scenic beauty of Nova Scotia, particularly the red cliffs of Blomidon and the tides of the Minas Basin, as sources of inspiration for his paintings.

 
Recent trips to Europe and Italy have also served as inspiration, evident in his various bold and colourful tributes to Tuscany.

 
“To my eye, the most important aspect of every creation is the sense of light, especially at different times of the day and seasons. The acrylic medium on larger canvasses allows me to express these subtleties in landscapes as well as exploring human form (nudes).”

 



Tuscan Hills
Carlos has had the good fortune to distribute his work through the former Utata Gallery in Windsor NS as well as the "Art Sales and Rental” Gallery located at the Art Gallery of NS. He regularly participates in the "Great Little Art Show" held each year at Newport Landing, Hants County Arts Council’s annual “Festival of Art” in Windsor and this is his second time showing at the Fort Edward Gallery.

 
Carlos and his wife now call Falmouth, Nova Scotia their home after relocating from Ontario in 2001.
