JOURNEYS. 

Sandra Espinoza’s abstract artwork seeks to bring harmony by balancing form, colour and texture to create cohesive yet dynamic compositions. They are “journeys” that transcend literal interpretations of movement or travel, inviting a more personal and introspective exploration. These visual journeys are not about a defined destination but about the unfolding of sensations, thoughts, and moments, making the artwork itself a space for contemplation and transformation. 

The relationships between elements often appear non-representational, but their interaction evokes a sense of unity or tension. This pursuit of harmony is about finding resonance between contrasting forces—chaos and order, movement and stillness—while leaving space for interpretation and emotional response, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.

These paintings can evoke a sense of progression, capturing the fluidity of experiences that shape an individual’s perception.

Sandra Espinoza is a Melbourne based artist, currently in residence within the Dunmoochin foundation. Her abstract oil paintings have been showcased in numerous local exhibitions, including two solo shows in 2023 and 2024. Sandra’s artistic process serves as a testament to her unwavering commitment to sustainable creative expression and environmental consciousness. In June of this year, Sandra participated in a one month artist residency, with Can Serrat, in Barcelona. Participation in these residency opportunities have been pivotal to Sandra’s future direction and have emphasised her commitment to instinctive approaches in practice.
