ABOUT LALA (LA'LA):

​

Lala is an artist from Iran and Australia specialising in various art forms like printmaking and watercolour painting. She has a diverse skill set and has worked with mediums such as printing, drawing, painting, bookbinding, ceramics, sculpture, and photography. Lala has exhibited her artwork in both solo and group exhibitions. She has a passion for creating art, exploring new ideas, and sharing her life story. Since moving to Australia in 2018, she has tried to capture her identity as a woman who was born and raised in the Middle East. Despite immigrating, she continues to face challenges and struggles that have influenced her artwork. Her pieces reflect her experiences of travel, migration, living in different locations, and the memories and events that have shaped her as an individual.
