Danic Lago

Danic Lago, a British-Brazilian artist who has lived abroad for 20 years, is a modern alchemist. A poet with a creative and inventive mind, which unites her experiences and wanderings around the world in works of
art. Having lived in Switzerland, London and Mexico, Danic has always been an explorer: a collector of small treasures, textures, and experiences. Beginning her work in the fashion world, she specialised in trend research, with experience working with European and Brazilian designers. The restless nature of fashion led her to make poetry with her own hands, pieces of different materials became her purest expression.
The lightness with which Danic perceives the world made her understand that being in love with something has diverse meanings. Her intense connection to paper makes it her most incandescent platform of
transformation. The 3D mixed media collages are the portrait of her unique view of the place that she inhabits in the world.
Her connection with paper can be immediately perceived from her first piece. Without a canvas, a cardboard box was the base. The artist today works with intricate manual 3D mixed media collages, a mix of materials. Mixing elements such as paper, wood, ceramic, watercolour, ink, acrylic, gold leaf, fabrics, dried leaves, mosses, pieces of trees and stones, her pieces reflect the world - it has a Brazilian touch, a Mexican vibe, and a European breather. Danic has the ability to transport viewers into a playful world of colours and textures with her collage. The varying interpretations of her work speak ... show more
