South African artist
Lara Segal
Oil painting
Lara Segal is a South African
Artist, who explored the relationship
between the beautiful landscapes
and cityscapes and the political
and economical times of being in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
I have dug deep into an emotional
roller coaster of growing up with a
single mom who has worked day
and nights to keep food on the
table. What interests me the most
is the beauty in the skies and how
they change every moment of our
day but still remain breathtaking and
beautiful.
This is a sharp contract to our
political environment filled with theft,
lies and living an excessive lifestyle
as a politician, while the poorer are
getting poorer daily.
My focus has been to connect to various areas of my life and
explore each emotion through the use of colours and line and explore
the depth of the Landscapes to allow me to create an in-depth collection
of works.
Colour has always been a Happy Place for me where I can take
a plain piece of paper or canvas and create a palette of colours, lines
and contours to shape a picture and create something new for the
world to view.
