AGNES PAECESEPE “AGILI”

Lives and works in The Patch (Melbourne), Australia
www.agili.com.au

Agnes had her first Solo Painting Exhibition, at the Cotham Gallery
101 in Kew in November 2002. She paints under the name of Agili, and
her works often include a small Seahorse hidden in the composition.
After studying with artists such as Alan Close, Nell Frysteen and Walter
Magilton, she developed her own style, with which to produce unusual
paintings, for the enjoyment of buyers.
Although primarily a watercolorist, Agnes likes to work in acrylic, oil,
pastels and ink. She believes that practicing in all mediums, allows
her to develop skills and techniques, to use in the creation of her own
unique works of art. Agnes wanted to come up with some unusual and
unique paintings that would make a lasting impression on viewers.
She has developed a special interest in mixed media paintings,
incorporating multicolored material layers, silk, ribbons and various
fabrics and beads, for a three dimensional effect for cityscapes, sky-
lined against rich, vibrant watercolor skies. In particular her watercolors
can take up of fourteen layers of carefully applied individual hues.
Agnes’s use of watercolor washes has received local, regional, national
and international recognition.
Agnes uses her own photographs of her favorite city, Melbourne, to
capture the different times of day and the colors that the city displays,
to guide her interpretation of city scenes. She has also produced mixed
media creations of other cities for commissioned works. Agnes uses
pigment to achieve moody dynamic skies and textures, for colorful
buildings, to support her message, her paintings convey the time of
day and the atmosphere of the city in a very different way from that
normally seen in artistic interpretations.
She works with different media and materials to produce vitally different
Abstracts, Still Life, Landscapes and Floral paintings. Some of these
are shown on this web-site. Her paintings have been well accepted
in private and corporate collections, in Germany, Italy and Japan. She
has traveled to La Palma in the Canary Islands, Malaysia, Canada and
South Africa, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the
Ex-Yugoslavia.
Agnes is a member of the “Family of Artist“ Amsterdam Whitney Gallery
NY, Australian Guild of Realist Artists (AGRA), The Water Color Society
Of Victoria, The Water Color Society Of Australia, Friends Of Montsalvat,
Whitehorse Arts Association and Sherbrooke Art Society.
