Dimitriou's recent work in encaustic painting incorporates spiritual and iconographic imagery, textual fragments, and a cast of animal characters into complex images that examine human belief structures.  The textures of encaustic are particularly suited to Dimitriou’s aesthetic, allowing her to layer book pages, fortune cookie texts, and photographs into the painted surface. 

Carla Dimitriou is a graduate of Cornish College of the Arts and the Vermont College of Norwich University.

An artist of rare intelligence, she mixes empathy, ethics, and more than a dash of humor to create visually sumptuous images that provide ample food for thought.
