Lara Gasparotto (born in Liège, Belgium) has been developing a deeply personal and poetic photographic body of work for over ten years, navigating the space between reality and fiction.
Her work, intimate and contemplative, captures fleeting moments of everyday life, natural landscapes, and portraits imbued with softness and melancholy. She favors analog photography, which she views as a ritual, and sometimes incorporates painterly elements such as gouache or pastel to enrich her images, creating a unique atmosphere where light, texture, and emotion converge. Through her work, Lara Gasparotto invites the viewer into a world where the ordinary becomes visual poetry, offering a subtle reflection on identity, memory, and the beauty of the world around us.
Her work has been exhibited in numerous institutions in Belgium and abroad, including the FotoMuseum in The Hague, the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris, and the 3 Shadows Arts Center in Beijing.
Lara Gasparotto is also involved in collaborative projects, such as African Vox, launched in 2019 with museologist Basika Paola, which aims to support contemporary Belgian artistic creation by inviting young Belgian and Congolese artists to reclaim their colonial history.
