me

I am what you would call an expatriate, always confused by my identity and where I come from.

At age 13, I started going to an all-girls boarding school in the UK. Despite wearing the same uniform as everyone else around me for five years, I managed to differentiate myself from others as much as possible through my way of thinking, high sense of aesthetics and a strikingly positive mindset.

At the age of 15, I failed my art final exam. This made me want to prove a point to my art teacher. I started drawing, painting, scrapbooking, writing, collaging and blogging. I wanted to discover this deep creativity buried in me.

Nowadays, I proudly consider myself a multi-faceted artist, eager to learn and try new things through mediums such as drawing, painting and ceramics.

Themes such as nostalgia play a significant part in my work. I aim to create artworks that encompass my childhood with a humorous twist.

My name is Lisa Colombo, I am a 22 years old Fine Arts students at Willem de Kooning Academy. I am an avid reader of books and magazine that cover topics in critical reflection, gender identity, artistic research and power systems.

I have a need to know more about the world we live in. I want broaden my editorial skills and contribute to communicating art related topics, feminism and in the cultural field.
