The Vision
Carmen Delprat
Australian artist creating surreal, symbolic coastal paintings inspired by the Newcastle coastline.
I paint the beauty that waits quietly.
My work draws on the symbolism of shells, tidal rhythms, seabirds and the Australian coastline to create atmospheric oil paintings and portrait illustrations exploring memory, transformation and our emotional connection to place that stay with us.
Through original paintings and limited-edition fine art prints, I create artworks that bring atmosphere, colour and meaning into thoughtful, considered interiors.
Internationally collected. Studio based in Newcastle, Australia.

Why do we Collect Shells?
A shell can be something we simply pick up from the beach.
But sometimes we keep it for years.
Perhaps it’s not really the shell we’re keeping.
Perhaps it’s the memory.

An artwork begins with the artist.
But it doesn’t end there.
Once it enters your world, you bring your own memories, associations and experiences to it.
The meaning shifts.
The story becomes personal.
And the art becomes you.
The Art of Adornment
One scarf.
A thousand Moods.
The Art of Looking Again
What do you notice when you stop looking at the whole picture?
A shell.
A shadow.
A ripple.
A delicate bubble
A bird disappearing into the distance.
These small things often become the beginning of a Carmen Delprat artwork.
