Flowers for Caravaggio

For seven years I immersed myself in Caravaggio's world. I copied (in paint) his entire body of work. I made it my mission to see all of Caravaggio's paintings in the flesh. His vision shaped mine. Now, when sunlight hits a vase of flowers, I don't just see it, I see life through Caravaggio's eyes.

About Artist

Trina O’Hara

I am a highly trained artist whose creative production revolves around classical figurative painting and the teaching techniques found in the 19th Century European academies. I was born in Australia in 1973 and have been painting and photographing since my teens. I attended the Gifted and Talented Program (Visual Arts) at Kalamunda Senior High School in Western Australia. In my final year I received a Certificate of Excellence. I later returned to the school as an art teacher in the program. I have a BA with Honours in Fine Arts from Edith Cowan University, Australia, with a good portion of my program dedicated to figure drawing from the life model. I studied in the stage and set design/art program at the University of Maine, USA. I also won a scholarship to join artist and Australian of the Year, Arthur Boyd in his studio. I have a Masters in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute in London. I have lived, studied or worked in the Arts in Australia, USA, China, Japan, Hong Kong, UK and Italy.
