artist statement and inspiration

My painting Moonscape III invites viewers to step into a surreal world of energy and flow.

The luminous shapes and lines meld together seamlessly, evoking the harmony like a Lava Lamp. The tonal greys of the moons landscape create a sense of adventure as if one were exploring uncharted territory.

Immerse yourself in the energy and flow of the moon, receive a sense of cohesion and unity that is both mesmerising and transportive. Moonscape is a masterful example of contemporary art that invites us to explore the unknown and embrace the beauty of the unexpected.

This stunning original artwork on canvas is from the Lara’s latest body of work created this year. The work captures the life force that bubbles and bursts invisibly all around us, and burns just as brightly in our body and minds even as we sit still; especially as we sit still. Celebrating our creative energy Lara’s paintings are a reminder that renewal is a constant available to all of us. Her signature organic motifs are conjured into shape with rope and other natural materials and rendered in swirls of ink up to 40 layers deep.

“I create landscapes of life force. tapping into vibrations and responding to the moment."
