Celebration of Fine Art

“It is as if one were wandering languidly amongst dancing Lotuses waiting airily on clouds of gold…” is how an observer describes the works of Rosa Leung Trombitas. By blending traditional Chinese methods with Western styles, Rosa has created an array of emotionally charged paintings that can rival nature’s own brushstrokes. Bold colors and painstaking detail highlight her paintings. Through the application of many layers of color, she has achieved a sense of depth and tranquility within her work.

Rosa was born in China where she studied art at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore and later in Hong Kong with renowned masters of traditional Chinese art. Relocating to Arizona, has expanded Rosa’s imagination by creating paintings of the indigenous flora.

Her paintings portray different themes that represent her Chinese culture, as well as her extensive travels. The result is a Western influence to the more disciplined Chinese tradition. In the summer of 2009 Rosa traveled to Asia for creative inspiration as well as to stock up on art supplies unique to Chinese painting. She also had occasion to visit her old Master of Chinese painting, under whom she studied, who is now more than eighty years old.

Rosa creates from imagination. Her artwork, inspired by the beauty of her surroundings, represents a composite of richness of life around her. Her subjects range from delicate floating lotuses to flowering cacti to koi swimming in ponds ringed in sunlight. It is her courageous use of color, however, that captures the observer and draws them into worlds brimming with reds, yellows and golds.

Celebration of Fine Art has been Rosa’s working studio from mid January through March for over ten years. Stop by her studio during the show to see what her latest creations inspired by her trips to Asia and the everyday beauty of the Arizona desert. Her energy is contagious!
