Galo
Visual Artist
(Avalon,
NSW)
Mia Galo was
born in Sydney, Australia and lives in Avalon on the northern beaches. She studied
graphic design, life drawing, photography, typography and sculpture for 5 years
at Randwick Tafe and Balmain College of the Arts, and worked
as an Art Director and Illustrator for 15 years. She also performed as a a singer/songwriter
for 5 years, and has been painting full time since 1995. Mia's
work is generous, passionate, boundless. She displays an innate understanding
of colour, texture and space and her use of texture and colour verges on sculptural.
"Painting is my opportunity to explore, to push, provoke,
confront and question. It's a continuous challenge, an ongoing source of intoxication
and obsession. My fascination with the human, and especially female form, provides
endless inspiration. The sensuality, the curves, the arc of a back, the tilt of
a head. Even when painting abstracts and landscapes the female curves somehow
make their way into the artwork."
