Her subject matter is deeply influenced by the regenerative properties of the natural environment; in which people, meaning and change are both grounded and flourish. Wrona’s process of layering both vivid and subdued colours, flowing mountainous lines, and organic forms, are intentional, intuitive, and reverent. Much like the impressionists and post-impressionists Wrona is deeply inspired by the play of light and explosion of colour within nature, as well as the deeper emotional and spiritual connection we have to the world. “I want the viewer to consider, react, and respond to the artwork, the environment and their internal state simultaneously.” This ongoing internal and external conversation between the viewer and their experiences of awe within her work is the core narrative Wrona is concerned with. She hopes that through the experience of awe the viewer can change their perception of self and focus their attention outward beyond their existing frame of reference. In turn the viewer sees themselves as part of something larger, humbled and more connected to others and their place in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeleste's work \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.celestewrona.com.au\/collections\/limited-edition-prints\/products\/drifting-iii-2015-celeste-wrona\" title=\"Celeste Wrona Drifting III limited edition print The Block\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.celestewrona.com.au\/collections\/limited-edition-prints\/products\/drifting-iii-2015-celeste-wrona\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"Drifiting III\"\u003c\/a\u003e has recently featured on Channel 9's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theblockshop.com.au\/blog\/meet-artist-celeste-wrona\/\" title=\"The Block Artist Celeste Wrona\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.theblockshop.com.au\/blog\/meet-artist-celeste-wrona\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"The Block\"\u003c\/a\u003e in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.9now.com.au\/the-block\/season-14\/extras\/clips\/clip-cjma68bay00120hntd0cx9knj\" title=\"Celeste Wrona Artwork on The Block 2018\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.9now.com.au\/the-block\/season-14\/extras\/clips\/clip-cjma68bay00120hntd0cx9knj\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2018\u003c\/a\u003e and her print \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.celestewrona.com.au\/collections\/limited-edition-prints\/products\/release-ii-2015-celeste-wrona\" title=\"Release II limited edition print The Block Master Bedroom artwork Celeste Wrona\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.celestewrona.com.au\/collections\/limited-edition-prints\/products\/release-ii-2015-celeste-wrona\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"Release II\"\u003c\/a\u003e in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.9now.com.au\/the-block\/season-12\/clip-cittobo7400280glp5qzt88nr\" title=\"Celeste Wrona Art on The Block 2016\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.9now.com.au\/the-block\/season-12\/clip-cittobo7400280glp5qzt88nr\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2016\u003c\/a\u003e series.
