A forest stilled by absence. In ‘Lost Paths and the Silence of Birds’, Gina Kalabishis renders a haunting vision of landscape as elegy. The muted palette, dense vegetation, and faint traces of red suggest a place both remembered and retreating.

This painting speaks to the void left when birds no longer call. It asks us to walk the ‘desire paths’ we’ve carved through our ecosystems—instinctive routes of progress, often made without pause or reflection.

About the Artist

Learn more about Gina Kalabishis

Gina Kalabishis’ practice pays direct homage to the beauty of Australia’s native flora and fauna. Finding inspiration in both her regular walks through the unruly, thick bushland of our national parks, as well as from her everyday encounters with unassuming plants and animals within her local Merri Creek backyard in Melbourne, Kalabishis’ delicate paintings and drawings lovingly replicate the earthy, wondrous textures of nature. Utilising a visual language that mixes still life and landscape techniques with intentionally dreamlike, surreal distortions, her images construct intimate narratives in which the human, emotive experience becomes enmeshed within the beauty of the natural environment.
