ARTIST STATEMENT

Diana Lazare b.1988 in Latvia.

In my artistry, I strive for a skillful result that not only demonstrates the versatility of textiles, but also reflects the careful process behind each handmade piece. My work is an exploration of the boundaries of textile art and free art, where craftsmanship and imagination meet to create a unique and tactile experience.

As a textile artist, my work is about creating a fine balance between humor and reality, and inviting the viewer into a world where textiles become something more than just material.
