Lara Donatoni Matana belongs to the universe of creators who operate in harmony with Nature—artists spread across the globe in integrated groups, communicating cells, charismatic individuals who act in defense of the planet. More than an aesthetic stance, it is a pursuit of quality of life that, in itself, already envelops her creations with a special aura. In tune with this ethos, Lara’s artistic production unfolds through discarded wood, reused in a sustainable and intelligent way, drawing out seductive effects from planks, beams, logs, stumps, scraps, splinters, and veneers.
