The need for freedom caused me, as a young girl, to quickly develop an independent and self-reliant attitude.
I discovered a deeply rooted drive to find my own way and express my unique creative vision.
Early on, I began to realize that my path had to be different from what is considered ‘normal’, and that realization forms the core of my way of designing.
After graduating from the Graphic Lyceum as a designer, I started my career in the interior world.
But the thought of having to work under a system ceiling for the rest of my life led to a new direction.
My interest in design led me to creating unique interior designs — that world gave me the opportunity to roam freely;
From designing furniture and my own furniture line, to interior designs of luxury resorts, offices, hotels, restaurants and residential complexes, to the exterior design of luxury homes and businesses.
Through this, I discovered where my greatest passion lies — where creativity is boundless, where I can design each object with boldness and leave my own personal mark: the creation of art.
My free art emerged from exploring different themes such as identity, self-acceptance and strength.
Showing raw emotions, breaking through beauty ideals, our feminine being, projecting cultural symbolism and other issues.
All my art has different sources of inspiration: colors, love, the beauty of nature, the energies of people and animals, travels far from home, the (restless) society we live in, or the small things of daily life.
With all that inspiration, I create art that is both aesthetically appealing and profound and meaningful.

What makes my commissioned art unique, is that while creating it, I try to capture the energy of the person and translate it onto the canvas.
This results in art that is a unique combination between me and the person who ‘meets’ my art.
I can completely lose myself in the world of the person for whom I create the art, and my hands naturally express the emotions I didn’t know were inside me.
With this, I manage to incorporate emotion into each piece and touch the other, entirely in my own way.
My own path, which I started to lay at a young age, continues to expand. I am still growing and grateful for everything that has come my way so far, especially the beautiful encounters that came with it.
With love,
Lisa
