[Denver] Artists on Santa Fe presents “Conquering the Curve” new artwork by Lisa Calzavara, running May 1 – June 16, 2025, at Artists on Santa Fe. Each painting is created in a slightly different style, yet all are unified by the fundamental concept of the curve, exploring what happens when an obstacle is encountered. How do we react, and what solutions can be discovered?

Curves, with their inherent fluidity and grace, offer a dynamic energy that breathes life into Calzavara’s paintings. They weave pathways, guiding the viewer’s eye in a dance of movement and rhythm. Each curve is a deliberate stroke that fosters a sense of direction and momentum, inviting engagement and exploration. 

Through the integration of curves into her paintings, she strives to create work that resonates with dynamic energy, celebrates the beauty of nature, and evokes a positive emotional response. “Conquering the Curve” is also a guiding philosophy that represents her commitment to embracing the challenges of creativity and transforming them into opportunities for expression.

Calzavara has been creating art professionally for over 20 years. Trained in multiple mediums including oils, acrylics, encaustics and resins, she is able to design a variety of unique artwork. Her series span realism, abstraction, impressionism and surrealism with her most recent pieces focusing on movement and intense colors. For more information visit aprettypainting.com
