Hume teenager’s first exhibition

A Hume teenager will present a solo exhibition in Mount Macedon, presenting works across a range of media.

Presenting her exhibition titled, Visions Unveiled, at The Gallery Mount Macedon, 13-year-old Amaya De Silva will showcase a collection that demonstrates her skills across a wide range of media.

De Silva developed a love of art at a young age – particularly drawing animals – and was introduced by her mother to an art teacher who has tutored her over the past four years in oil painting, drawing, mosaic, and resin art.

She was introduced through her tutor to modern art movements like surrealism, abstraction, and pop art, with her upcoming exhibition demonstrating her perceptive understanding of art.

She thoroughly plans each artwork, with her preparation processes using small, fast sketches – then considering composition layout, conceptual meanings, and the appropriate medium before bringing her artwork to life.

Works presented in this collection were created by De Silva over the past few years.

Visions Unveiled will run from Monday, March 3 until Saturday, April 6, with an opening afternoon from 2–4pm on Saturday, March 8.

The Gallery is open from 10am–4pm from Friday to Tuesday at 684 Mt Macedon Road, Mount Macedon – behind Mount Macedon Trading Post.
