Lara Bandilla

Im living in Berlin with my husband and three kids. For me the central theme of my work is the discrepancy between how the world is and how it could be. Who we are and who we could be. Reality and its limits versus freedom. Shallowness versus truth. Profanity versus meaning. For me the most touching beauty is to be found in the most broken and ugly surrounding. The discrepancy enhances beauty, like shadow enhances light. Therefore I like to work with oil colours and many different materials like sand, natron, turpentine and others to create this discrepancy.
