Lara Maltz develops her work in an eclectic way inspired by
nature, the androgynous and amphibious. Guided by curiosity, she investigates various disciplines as ways to explore her being, with art as a path of knowledge. Look for beauty in diversity and the imperfect, putting into play certain taboos of society. In her work, we find characters of exaggerated aspects in theatrical climates, where the monstrous and beautiful coexist, awakening the mystery and estrangement. Her imagination is expressed through drawing, engraving, painting, sculpture, and also Stop Motion animation where all this world set in motion.
