Amelia Farrugia was born in Victoria in 1977 and has lived in Queensland since she was 2 years old. From a young age, through her school years, a natural artistic talent was evident. This talent has continued to flourish, and became her passion. A passion that has lead her to become a very innovative, exciting and in demand young artist in Australia today.

Amelia excels in a range of styles. From super real, larger than life flower and plant studies to subdued, abstract landscapes and seascapes. However, the style that is arguably Amelia's most popular is her richly textured, multi layered approach to pure abstracts. The inspiration for all of Amelia's works stem from patterns, shapes and forms found in nature. She combines these colours, textures and forms with strong lineal and geometric patterns. Add to this bold swathes of red and gold, and it makes for very dynamic and visually engaging artworks. These highly emotive works have proven incredibly popular with both Australian and international clients.

Amelia's love of painting and nature means she pours her heart and soul into every piece created. "I love to design, paint and create anything. I derive great pleasure and fulfilment from turning an idea into a finished product. I strive to make my work original and exciting so as to have an emotional impact on the viewer, surprise them, delight them, make the painting memorable so that the audience are curious and want to look at it, touch it, keep it. I want people to be as passionate about what I do as I am".
