About Larisa
“My vision is to shine a light and express the beauty of people who are truly connected with themselves on a deep level. I want to shift people into a higher-mindset when they see my art, while inspiring them to fully embody and radiate the essence of who they are to the world.”
- Larisa Marie
Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Larisa developed a passion for art from a young age with portraiture being her favourite subject to draw. Nurtured by the support of her friends and family, she would spend the majority of her time developing and refining her pieces and shortly after, became recognised for her talent born out of this passion for creativity. Wanting to expand her knowledge and further her skills beyond the use of a graphite pencil, Larisa pursued training under the mentorship of Elli and Dimitra Milan and in 2021, graduated a fine art mastery programme to become a professional artist, learning old masters techniques in oils, as well as more contemporary mixed media techniques.
Larisa finds inspiration through the often-overlooked beauty of empaths who are grounded in who they are and how they express this quiet confidence in the world. As an empath herself, she works with her intuition alongside mixed media and oil mediums to bring to light the unique, meaningful connection empaths have with the world around them, while leading their lives with a sense of purpose, simplicity and grace.
Layer upon layer, Larisa channels and brings to life these beautiful women who embrace their identity and inner power, while transforming external perceptions of beauty.
Larisa loves working in her home-based studio, continually experimenting with various mediums and discovering new techniques which manifest into her pieces. When she’s not painting, you will find her with family, friends or spending time connecting with the beauty of nature. Stepping into 2022 and beyond she looks forward to continually evolving her style and will be releasing series of works which will be available for her collectors.
