Exhibitions
Lara Donatoni Matana was born in ANDRADINA, a small city in the countryside of São Paulo State, and discovered art at the age of 22. Self-taught, she learned through individual research of materials and freestyle courses until she found her own language. It was among the woody stubble, sawdust and dense logs that Lara discovered the raw material of her work: the WOOD.
