Larissa Blake
Contemporary Australian Abstract Artist
Larissa Blake is a contemporary visual artist based in Orange, NSW, known for her bold use of colour, playful compositions, and experimental approach to abstract expressionism. Working primarily in mixed media, Larissa creates vibrant, joyful paintings that reinterpret traditional artistic genres in fresh, contemporary ways.
Her work is characterised by figurative abstraction and a confident, exuberant palette that radiates energy and optimism. Drawing inspiration from the everyday, Larissa transforms ordinary moments into uplifting visual experiences, exploring the connection between place, space, and emotion.
Working from her light-filled studio, an industrial shed nestled within lush garden surrounds on the outskirts of Orange, Larissa embraces both experimentation and intuition in her process. Her paintings celebrate colour as a powerful language, evoking joy and playfulness while inviting viewers to see the world through a more vivid and expressive lens.
