Lara Hochreiter
Lara was born in 1992 in Innsbruck, Austria. Pursuing a creative career, she studied graphic design and worked in the design field until she decided to go deeper into art. Fuelled by her passion for figurative drawing, she pursued her artistic education at the Barcelona Academy of Art, graduating in 2021 with a focus on traditional oil painting.
With the refined technique and keen eye of an academic painter, Lara began developing her unique artistic voice. Her work, predominantly in oil paints, celebrates the beauty of the human figure in a realistic, representational style while leaving room for imagination and a touch of magic. Her vivid, colourful, and emotionally charged paintings captivate viewers, igniting a spark in the hearts of art enthusiasts.
Currently based in Barcelona, Lara’s work is showcased in both her studio paintings and colourful murals that grace the city.
From the textured richness of natural landscapes to the soulful depth of portraits and the intricate interplay of light and shadow, Lara’s art evokes a profound sense of wonder. Deeply rooted in the timeless traditions of realism, she masterfully wields oil paints to create lifelike and dynamic compositions. Each piece reflects her commitment to preserving the enduring beauty of the world as seen through her artistic lens.
