Rin Colabucci

“Any thing worked in frenzy was a work of beauty.
It may be the result of a clumsy attempt, but it is unique
and is a total reflection of one’s unique self.”
---------Hiroshi Teshigawara

    Painting for me is the result of discerning the necessity and un-necessity,
    transformation of the unconsciousness to the consciousness.
    My work begin with creating the totally chaos on canvas. I let any themes or accidents
    happen and go. As I continue this process, osmotically imagery begins to emerge. My
    painting is a result of many layers of thoughts and feelings. For me, painting process is
    like ‘tuning’ to voices to be heard. I take inspiration from everyday life, things,
    relationships, beings around me. I observe them and pass them on in my form. There is
    no ownership in beauty.   -----  Rin Colabucci
    BIO:

    remember a time when she was not surrounded by art. She attended a
    Buddhist nursery school, a Christian boarding school and a Shinto university.
    She studied philosophies and ethics. Backpacking early on and visited or lived in
    Micronesia, South Asia, USA, Central and South America, Europe, Middle East.
    Now she lives in San Diego, California.

    Her oils focus on the human form dealing with the human condition. Penetrating
    eyes and vivid colors highlight the symbolism in her work. Her style is not
    modeled on any particular artist or genre. She gets her inspiration from life
    experiences and feelings. Originality and creativity are the two fundamental
    essences of her art.

    Rin has created poster designs for theater troupes, card and print designs for
    Charities; Médecins Sans Frontières (M.S.F.), Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre,
    Dubai Eco, magazine illustrations, mural paintings for major shopping malls,
    hotels and restaurants). Her paintings have been published and bought by
    numerous collectors in UK, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, France, Germany,
    South Africa, Canada, the UAE and the US.
