Painter/ Photographer and former Set Designer for BBC, explores the line between abstraction and figurative recognition, between chance and control.

Monumental artist, designer and ceramist, member of 'Tropism', the art movement that prefers to deviate from the predictable, she was educated at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She is particularly interested in patterns derived from nature. Interaction between one fractal structure and an other in the natural environment is the underlying starting-point for her work, and photography, photo collage and computer-graphics are the means.

Larisa is primarily an easel painter. Her style is focusing on fantasy themes, illustrative ideas, and fashion sketches in acrylics, ink pen, oil pastels, ink on wet, color pencils, fabrics, faux finishes, and often a combination of the above for different effects. Many of her pieces are representations of women - the feminine forms of emotions, moods, and characters. Larisa is also accomplished as a muralist, decorative painter and faux finisher.

Flores de Primavera is wall-hanging, nine brilliant glass blossoms over a shimmering stainless steel “vase.”

From simple organic forms, pieces are gradually developed into complex organic systems.

Exploring the humble and the sublime Ula Einstein is a New York City-based artist who is remarkably in tune with her process. I would say she does a better job at describing her work and inspirations than many artists I’ve interviewed to date.
