The Evolution of Light-Infused Art
Over the last decade, Larisse Hall has pioneered a distinctive art technique that is entirely her own. Through the meticulous application of glazed oil paint layers, Larisse incorporates physical light into her artwork, enabling each piece to transform with the passage of time. As daylight fades and night falls, these paintings evolve into stunning pieces of light art, reflecting the dynamic nature of life itself.
This technique is deeply personal and resonates with significant life experiences—the birth of Larisse’s son, who arrived prematurely with underdeveloped lungs, and her daughter, born into the world without oxygen. Both events have profoundly influenced her art, symbolising the precious, fragile essence of life that breathes and thrives over time. Each artwork is not only a visual spectacle but also a poignant reminder of resilience, growth, and the ever-changing dance of light and shadow.
Embodying beauty and endurance, Larisse's creations offer viewers an immersive experience that shifts and matures, echoing the life stories that inspired them. This living, breathing art form is a tribute to the miraculous journey of her children and a testament to the transformative power of light.
