Abstract Passion:
CARLA FACHE
By Marya Summers

                
                      Carla Fache’s passion emanates from her intense, abstract work.
“First, I need inspiration, and then I let my imagination flow, indulging all my senses—body, mind, and soul—using colors to express myself on a blank canvas until a piece of art is born,” Fache explains.

Her favorite hue is red “because it is energy, passion, and sensuality. Red is a color with personality. It makes a statement,” the Chilean-born artist claims.

But Fache also relishes the spiritual as well as the sensual aspects of her art. She believes that her art helps her evolve as a person: “While I paint I reflect on life and my emotions bloom. Painting gives me peace, energy, and maturity.”

Sensuality and spirituality are naturally paired for this now Miami-based abstract expressionist. “These qualities come together like soul mates, each one needs the other,” she explains.

Already developing impressive credentials at the age of 27, Fache has displayed her work at prestigious art fairs such as Art Miami, Art Basel, and Art Philadelphia.
You can experience her paintings for yourself during a gallery walk on the 2nd Thursday of the month (next shows on June 10 & July 8) in Miami’s Design District, when all the galleries will be open to the public and serving refreshments. Carla Fache’s paintings will be displayed at Dileto, 1 NE 40th Street.
