LARA SPADETTO

My artistic exploration is rooted in a meditation on the human condition, the nature of perception, and the mind’s ability to transform experience through conscious awareness.

​

Employing a distilled and essential painterly language, I seek to capture the perpetual evolution of individual experience, where each fragment contributes to shaping a greater sense of wholeness.

​

I work primarily with acrylic paints applied by palette knife, a process that allows me to construct irregular, dynamic surfaces where color settles, fuses, and fractures—leaving behind traces of its passage, like memories sedimented over time.

​

The canvas is often divided into distinct modules which, when reassembled, evoke a renewed visual harmony, hinting at the interconnectedness of all experiences. I sometimes integrate texture and materiality to amplify the tactile presence of the work, inviting a deeper sensory dialogue between the viewer and the surface.

​

My research has been shaped by a wide range of influences, some consciously pursued, others absorbed over time. Among the artists who have most profoundly informed my path are Mark Rothko, for his ability to summon universal emotions through color; Yayoi Kusama, for her modular repetition and immersive environments; and Gustav Klimt, for his symbolic use of color and ornamentation as a means of internal narrative.

​

Through my practice, I offer a contemplative space for inner reconnection—an invitation to embrace the transformative potential embedded in every moment. My work aspires not only to express, but also to reframe perception itself, revealing light even within the most obscured fragments of existence.
