Alicia Benetatos is an abstract artist based in Melbourne, Australia, creating large scale paintings driven by colour, movement and layered mark making.

Her work is deeply intuitive. Each painting develops not from a fixed plan, but through instinct - layer by layer, mark by mark - until something unexpected and honest emerges. Textural accidents are not mistakes to be corrected but moments to be followed, often becoming the most alive parts of a painting. That surrender to the unknown is where the real magic lives.

Alicia draws inspiration from colour, from the rhythm of everyday moments, and from music, a lyric half-remembered, a song tied to a feeling that hasn't yet found words. These sparks find their way into the emotional tone of each new piece, shaping the mood before a single mark is made. Love, both tender and exhilarating, sits quietly at the centre of her practice.

Her works invite viewers to connect in their own way. There is no single reading, no prescribed feeling, only an open space where colour and gesture meet the person standing in front of it. Titles like You Set My Soul Alight and Like a Dream Come Alive reflect the pulse of what drives her: desire, connection, and the tingling energy of a moment fully felt.

Alicia sells her work directly to collectors, offering the kind of personal, considered experience you would expect from a gallery - without the distance.
