Calla Klessig Sentić
Known for her use of color and texture, the first thing one notes about artist Calla Klessig Sentić’s work is her deep love and reverence for the land and sky and the inhabitants of these magical spaces. Her latest collection of paintings are about reconnecting with the natural world, with the elements, and of returning to a deeper connection with the wilds of this beautiful world and the wild beings within ourselves. Calla’s landscapes capture not just a single moment but rather the wild spirit of these enduring landscapes.
A perpetual student of color and light, of the moods and vagaries of the weather, Calla gathers much of her inspiration from the extraordinary landscapes and dramatic weather she sees on her hikes, camping, backpacking and road trips throughout the Southwest and beyond. Showing artistic tendencies from a young age, Calla began oil painting at age 8, beginning her lifelong love of painting, art, and design. Calla attended the Maryland Institute, College of Art graduating with a BFA. Calla worked as an Art Director for Film, where Art Direction served as a 3-dimensional compositional counterpoint to her fine artworks. After 17 successful years in the film industry, Calla left her work as an Art Director to pursue her first love — painting — full time. Originally from the Los Angeles area, Calla took many trips to the Southwest before moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here, she has continued exploring and being inspired by the incredible landscapes of her new home. Calla, her husband, and their pup River can be found out in nature every chance they get, where Calla continues to be inspired by the Wilds of this amazing world.
