Liana Vargas - Adelaide Artist

Liana Vargas is an oil painter specialising in portraiture. Following a successful 25-year career as a professional dancer, Liana changed direction and pursued her passion for visual art, graduating from the Adelaide Central School of Art in 2012. Soon after, she was awarded a Studio Residency at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice.

Alongside her exhibiting practice, Liana is a dedicated painting instructor, teaching from her home studio in Hahndorf and at Duthy Street Art in Unley. She also organises National and International Artist Retreats, creating opportunities for her adult students to learn, explore and connect through art.

Liana’s practice is driven by a fearless curiosity and a willingness to experiment with different techniques, styles and approaches to painting. Her portraiture is particularly focused on warmth, character and human connection. Through an evolving and authentic practice, she continues to explore new ways of expressing her ideas through paint.
