Lady Gorina's Transparency Series Explores Family and Perception
Lady Gorina, the creative alias of Luciana Baldoni, is an Argentine artist whose practice merges photography, set design, and painting. She studied at the National University of La Plata, initially specializing in Set Design before turning to Painting. Her work is driven by color as a narrative and emotional force, influenced by Oswaldo Guayasamín, Julio Le Parc, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and photographers Jan Saudek, Sebastião Salgado, and Sara Facio. Her ongoing Transparency Series, executed in acrylic on canvas, focuses on her children and family relationships, using layering as a metaphor for memory and emotional bonds. The series marks her first time painting her children and is scheduled for public presentation toward the end of the year.
