As a Chicago-based abstract artist, I channel the vibrant energy of my city into my work, using acrylics to create pieces that are both dynamic and expressive. My palette is often bold and lively, reflecting the spirit of the urban landscape that surrounds me. You may have seen several of my pieces on the set of the hit TV show Chicago PD, bringing a touch of abstract vibrancy to the scenes. Creating art has been a lifelong passion, deeply rooted in my family history. With a mother and grandmothers who were also artists, creativity runs in my blood. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I embarked on a successful career as a packaging designer. However, my love for painting never waned. After taking a brief hiatus, I have returned to the art world with renewed vigor and creativity. In my work, I embrace the freedom of abstraction, often using brushes, palette knives, and even my hands to apply paint. I also enjoy incorporating everyday objects to add texture and depth, ensuring that each piece is truly unique. This hands-on approach allows me to infuse each painting with a sense of spontaneity and individuality. All pieces displayed on my website are available for purchase. For information on special commissions or any questions regarding my current works, please feel free to get in touch. I look forward to sharing my artistic journey with you and hope my art brings as much joy and inspiration to your life as it does to mine. https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID daily 0.75 2024-12-02 https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID/framed monthly 0.5 2022-12-13 https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID/large monthly 0.5 2024-05-29 https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID/paper monthly 0.5 2022-12-13 https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID/small monthly 0.5 2024-03-07 https://www.paintingsbylara.com/lara-prestipino-MalID/p/paper-ezh84 monthly 0.5 2024-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234c19a139d993c11f29e07/1670470295083-L11CRKT4GNFXHBWUG9OB/20221205_131053+%281%29.jpg Work for Sale -
