Calla Klessig Sentić
Showcasing a mastery of color and texture, Calla Klessig Sentić’s work reflects her deep love and reverence for the land and sky, as well as the inhabitants of these magical spaces. Her latest collection of paintings are an expression of her reconnection with the natural world and with the elements. They tell the story of her return to a deeper relationship with the wild lands, and with the wild being within herself. Calla’s richly textured paintings go beyond the act of depicting a single moment, seeking instead to capture the wild spirit of these enduring landscapes. Calla is a perpetual student of color and light, of the moods and vagaries of the weather. She gathers much of her inspiration by immersing herself in the extraordinary landscapes of her adopted home in the Southwest, as well as her travels throughout the world. Showing artistic tendencies from a young age, Calla began oil painting at age 8, beginning her lifelong love of painting, art, and design. Calla attended the Maryland Institute, College of Art, graduating with a BFA. She went on to have a fulfilling 17-year career in the American film industry, where her work as an Art Director served as a vital 3-dimensional compositional counterpoint to her fine artworks. Despite her success, Calla continually heard the call of her first love — painting. After many exploratory trips to the Southwest, Calla eventually left her home in the Los Angeles area and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. After spending a few years immersed in the dramatic skies, golden light and high desert landscapes of her new home, she made the bold choice to leave her career in film to paint full time. Calla, her husband, and their pup River can be found out in nature every chance they get, savoring the Wilds of this amazing world. |
