The physical, beautiful paintings by Larissa display a supreme talent for rendering our world with artistic vision. Creating richly textured paintings with an understanding and strong love of nature. Beautiful light and fascinating perspectives add dimensionality to her work while textures of nature, flesh or textiles are tactile and confidently rendered.Just as she manipulates colour to elicit feelings and reactions from the viewer. A rapturous connection with the earth and art is her way of sharing her spirit with others. Adept at both portraiture, abstract and landscapes, Larissa gracefully captures the soul of a person or place with remarkable accuracy and sensitivity.Inspired by the energy and sometimes hidden beauty of nature, Larissa transports the viewer to a meditative place deep within each canvas. By allowing the viewer this moment of quiet reflection, Larissa not only expresses the sublime power of nature, but encourages a kinship between the harmony of the spirit and the earth. She carefully chooses her subjects to serve as symbols for truth, understanding and concepts. Therefore, the art becomes not only representational renderings, but truly communicative works of art. A surprising fact, given the technical virtuosity that her art displays, is that Larissa began painting seriously a mere six years ago."My inspiration comes from connecting to the natural beauty and divine presence in all things, it’s this that I hold deeply, communicate with and respect.”As an artist, she has continued to be inspired by the profound ongoing spiritual journey, knowledge for traditions and landscapes of Britain.
