Antonia Perricone-Mrljak
Artist Profile
Biography
Antonia Mrljak work’s directly and intuitively through a primal line. Raw, honest and direct —harmony in her expansive paintings is created through the layering of colour and form. The relationship between abstract shapes is critical to her practice.
The fundamental nature of non-representational painting allows for the audience to draw their own experiences and cultural conclusions from the encounter with the artwork—free from preordained or premeditated notions of identity, gender, and place. This becomes an experience that is open ended, expansive and inclusive to all. Antonia Mrljak’s work is widely collected in corporate and private collections across Australia. A major work commissioned by Cubic has recently been installed in their Sydney foyer.
