Darebin Arts

Congratulations to local artist Candela Alconada on being commissioned for Darebin’s Powering Change Together comic strip series, part of Council's plan on community engagement to help spread the message of energy efficiency and electrification across the City of Darebin.

Candela is an artist and illustrator originally from La Plata, Argentina, who has been based in Australia since 2017. Her practice spans muralism, illustration and character-based storytelling, with a colourful and imaginative visual language inspired by fantasy, playfulness and the connection to our inner child. Through her work, Candela creates joyful and engaging images that invite audiences to connect with emotion, curiosity and imagination.

We look forward to seeing her vibrant storytelling bring energy efficiency to life for our community.
