Press Release
Born to a creative family in Zagreb, Croatia, Lara Oreskovic studied ballet and theatre before moving to art, which had always been an important part of her life since childhood. After encouragement from her from an uncle who recognized her talent, she dedicated her life to her passion. She moved to Italy, enrolled in an arts program and opened an art gallery. Her work evolved to reflect her interest in materials and diverse techniques for making a painting surface. A love for both paper and canvas resulted surface-rich mixed media paintings. Oreskovic’s thick constructed surfaces protrude with material beauty. Her lush use of paint and surface results in a sculptural and visually stimulating three-dimensional space. Symbolic images come forward and confront the viewer with the inquisitive and playful spirit of Oreskovic’s work. Sparse icons such as a tree, a heart, a window or a figurative apparition are isolated within her pictures and hewn together with paint. Her work has a feeling of both surrealism and symbolism. The paintings are inspired by Oreskovic’s feeling that her artistic process is “a life philosophy.”
