AGNES “AGILI” PARCESEPE
Lives and works in Mitcham, Australia
www.agili.com.au

Although primarily a water colorist, Agnes likes to work in
acrylic, oil, pastels and ink. She believes that practising in all
mediums, allows her to develop skills and techniques, to use in
the creation of her own unique works of art. Agnes wanted to
come up with some unusual and unique paintings that would
make a lasting impression on viewers. She has developed
a special interest in mixed media paintings, incorporating
multicolored material layers, silk, ribbons and various fabrics
and beads, for a three dimensional effect for city scapes, sky-
lined against rich, vibrant watercolor skies. In particular her
watercolors can take up of fourteen layers of carefully applied
individual hues. Agnes’s use of watercolor washes has received
local, regional, national and international recognition. Agnes
uses her own photographs of her favorite city, Melbourne,
to capture the different times of day and the colors that the
city displays, to guide her interpretation of city scenes. She
has also produced mixed media creations of other cities for
commissioned works. Agnes uses pigment to achieve moody
dynamic skies and textures, for colorful buildings, to support
her message, her paintings convey the time of day and the
atmosphere of the city in a very different way from that
normally seen in artistic interpretations.

She works with different media and materials to produce
vitally different Abstracts, Still Life, Landscapes and Floral
paintings. Some of these are shown on this web-site. Her
paintings have been well accepted in private and corporate
collections, in Germany, Italy and Japan. She has travelled
to La Palma in the Canary Islands, Malaysia, Canada and
South Africa, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland
and the Ex-Yugoslavia. With prices starting from $300
per painting depending on size, media and time involved
in planning, preparation and creation, she believes most
people will find something within their budget.
