Itta Somaia

Itta Somaia is an Australian-born contemporary landscape artist whose vibrant work celebrates colour, nature, hiking, and travel. Of Czech and Indian heritage, her paintings weave together these cultural roots with the adventures and experiences that have shaped her life.
Her distinctive style bursts onto the canvas through bold, textured movement—created with oil and acrylic paints—often painted en plein air amid the landscapes she explores on foot, or in her home studio nestled in the Macedon Ranges of country Victoria.
As a third-generation artist and trained geologist, Itta uniquely blends art and science: she paints not just the visible beauty above ground, but also contemplates the ancient rocks and geological stories beneath, adding profound depth and dimension to every piece.
Her collectors span Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, India, Greece, and the Czech Republic. Through her art, Itta’s mission is clear: to send light and colour around the world, and

I create art because...

I was born into a family of artists!

I am different to most artists because...

I carry my paint kit hiking and travelling overseas!

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

warm, bold and colourful

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

buy original art that gives you the feels!

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

it can change a mood.
