Lara Vald, a contemporary Ukrainian painter, traces her artistic journey through the vivid landscapes of her imagination. A graduate of Art College, Lara's early professional endeavors led her into the realm of interior design, where she honed her creative instincts within the confines of a designer studio.

In 2005, Lara embarked on a transformative chapter by relocating to Krakow, Poland. There, she seamlessly continued her career as an interior designer, immersing herself in the rich cultural tapestry of her new surroundings. Krakow became not just a geographical shift but a canvas that infused new hues into Lara's artistic palette.

Each exhibition became a platform for her to unveil a dreamy yet dynamic world captured on canvas. Her paintings serve as windows to an alternate reality, inviting viewers to escape the mundane and journey into realms of imagination.

The essence of Lara's work lies in the delicate balance between dreaminess and dynamism. Her art is not merely a visual spectacle but an emotional refuge, offering solace and enchantment amid the hustle of everyday life. Through skillful strokes and a discerning eye, Lara crafts paintings that transcend the ordinary, creating an immersive experience for those who encounter her work.
