Ada is a Melbourne-based artist with a tactile edge, working across sculptural abstraction and tonal drawing. Her practice unfolds within a Modern Renaissance, reinterpreting classical sculptural principles through contemporary abstraction and negative drawing—one rooted in material mastery, emotional depth, and reverence for form.

Drawing inspiration from Renaissance sculpture, chiaroscuro, and material discipline, her work rejects literal representation in favour of stillness, restraint, and physical presence. Fabric-like folds, geological rhythms, and wave-formed surfaces emerge as landscapes of feeling—spaces where emotion is not narrated or depicted, but embodied. Grief, resilience, and quiet endurance are rendered not as story, but as sensation. Absence is as formative as presence; void, shadow, and erasure carry meaning equal to form itself.

These works do not seek to declare. They invite contemplation.

In an era of immediacy and visual saturation, the practice stands as an act of resistance—a return to slowness, discipline, and the enduring dignity of form. Handmade in Australia, each piece restores intimacy, craftsmanship, and human presence to a contemporary visual language, asking the viewer not to consume, but to dwell.
