Creative Room Art Space invites you to the opening of our new solo exhibition, Botanical Meditation by Oxana Arefin. 

A psychologist and visual artist, Oxana Arefin creates layered, contemplative paintings that move between inner landscape and observed nature. After moving to Queensland, she became captivated by local flora, including eucalyptus leaves, jacaranda blossoms, native grasses and flowers, which now act as both daily companions and quiet guides.
​
In Botanical Meditation, botanical forms appear from translucent blue grounds that suggest breath, stillness and a meditative state. Rather than traditional botanical illustration, these works function as visual meditations, with slow, textured surfaces that invite viewers to pause, feel and listen. The series is inspired by the idea of forest bathing, treating painting as an immersion in nature through presence and touch rather than distant observation.

Join us for an afternoon of art and conversation with the artist as we continue our 2026 exhibition program in West End.

Time: 12:00 pm - 14:00 pm
Location:  15 Dornoch Terrace, West End 4101

Join us at Creative Room Art Space for the opening night of Inner Balance, a solo exhibition by Sydney-based artist Ksenia Kirkbride.

The exhibition explores femininity as a world unto itself — a woman’s inner landscape and her spiritual exploration of meaning, identity, and balance.

As part of the opening evening, Ksenia will also share an artist talk, offering insight into the ideas and processes behind the work. She will speak about her engagement with mythology and spiritual iconography, her exploration of femininity as an inner experience, and the personal inquiry that shaped this body of work.

This is an opportunity to meet the artist, experience the exhibition, and take part in an intimate conversation about the themes that inform her practice.

Date: Friday, 10 April 2026
Time:  6 pm - 8 pm
Location: 15 Dornoch Terrace, West End 4101
Admission: Free 

Drinks and light refreshments will be served.
