Chasing the Light paintings by Luba Caruso

Art Exhibit

“As artists, we search to capture the light in what we see, to then transcribe with our brush, a stroke onto the canvas. An artist must abandon oneself truthfully each and everyday in his studio to be real. From Van Gogh to Picasso, every artist looks to capture the light in its beauty. For me, my brushstrokes evoke my emotions, exposing my inner self onto the canvas, telling the stories of my life in color and light. And with that said, as I interpret my stories on to the canvas, I will forever be running... chasing light, a muse of beauty and wonder.

Luba Caruso, born in Boston, Massachusetts, is a graduate of Villanova University, attended The Parsons School of Design, and studied Fine Arts in South Kensington, London.

She received a package design award from Parsons and has had many works featured in the Parsons Gallery.

Presently, Luba has been focusing on her oil paintings of seascapes and landscapes. Living on the New Jersey peninsula surrounded by the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, Luba is never far from the beauty of the shore: the beaches of Sea Bright and Spring Lake. The inspiration of these places are evident in her work, expressed in her compositions of daily life along the shore. Luba also draws inspiration from the beauty that is Cape Cod, where she spent summers as a young child and throughout her adult life. These influences can be seen in her compositions of seascapes and beach scenes.

Represented by Kathy Donnelly, the owner and director of Beauregard Fine Art Gallery in Rumson, New Jersey, Luba’s artwork has been purchased by art lovers and collectors throughout the United States.
