LAU_LANA

Lau_Lana was born in Jesolo near Venice in 1998 and originally studied fashion. Taught to embroider as a child by her grandmother, Lau_Lana soon realised that this ancient craft was her true passion in life.

Taking inspiration from the seaside town that she grew up in, she began ‘painting’ with wool thread on canvas, recreating beach scenes where the colours, patterns and intricacies of bathing costumes, deck chairs and towels dominate the picture. Her strong connection to territory and the special attention she pays to women provide rich material for Lau_Lana as she transforms craftsmanship into art.
