Artwork Statement
The Dreamweaver collection invites viewers to explore the ethereal realm of dreams and the subconscious mind. Through a tapestry of vibrant colours, fluid forms, and evocative textures, each painting captures the essence of a fleeting dreamscape, where imagination reigns supreme and reality dissolves into a world of infinite possibilities. Like threads woven into the fabric of our being, these artworks reveal the hidden depths of our inner world, where emotions, memories, and aspirations intertwine to create a unique and personal narrative. Dreamweaver encourages us to embrace the power of dreams, to explore the landscapes of our subconscious, and to discover the hidden truths that lie within. 
 
Artist Bio
Dr. Angelina Mirabito is an Italo-Australian abstract artist based in Melbourne, recognised for her expressive use of texture, colour, and palette knife techniques. Her work transforms emotion and inner reflection into visual form, creating spaces that inspire connection and wellbeing. With a PhD on the therapeutic value of creative writing, she channels unresolved thoughts into paintings that convey what words cannot. She has exhibited widely, including Elastic Heart at Docklands Library, Elastic Heart Quartet at City Library, and the Inner West Art Fair, while also leading workshops and talks on art’s transformative power. Mirabito’s practice explores abstraction, emotion, and the subconscious through process and intuition, shaped by lived experiences of autism, trauma, and recovery from a functional seizure. For her, painting is both survival and expression — uncovering possibilities rather than answers, and offering fragments of understanding that resonate on personal and universal levels.
