Lara Feldman

Lara Feldman is a contemporary figurative painter. She works intuitively, with a love of rich colour. Paint is applied for its emotional and psychological potential. Her mastery lies in her respect for the materials, allowing them to play an important part in forming an image while balanced with her artistic intentions and painterly skill. Born in Cape Town, Feldman currently lives and works in London. After her decision to exit Michaelis School of Fine Art in 1990, she entered the world of graphic and interior design but eventually decided to navigate her way towards painting again. It is here that she nurtures her expression.
