DANIC LAGO ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
About Danic Lago - Brazilian Artist & Modern Alchemist in London
Danic Lago is a Brazilian artist based in London whose rich global journey infuses her art with depth, colour and poetic imagination. A modern alchemist at heart, Danic has lived abroad for over 20 years, transforming wanderings through Switzerland, London and Mexico into a creative tapestry that defines her artistic language. Rooted in mixed media collage art and contemporary fine art, her work reflects a lifetime of collecting textures, experiences and cultural inspirations from around the world.
Artistic Evolution - From Fashion Trend Research to Mixed Media Collage
Beginning her creative career within the fashion world, Danic specialised in trend research and collaborated with both European and Brazilian designers, gaining an acute understanding of texture, colour and aesthetic narratives. However, the restless nature of fashion soon led her to explore artistic expression beyond apparel, driving her to make “poetry with her own hands”. Using these early skills, she pioneered a personal visual language that evolved into intricate 3D mixed media collages, where materials and emotion converge.
Artistic Style & Signature Techniques
Danic Lago’s work stands at the intersection of mixed media collage, contemporary art, and tactile storytelling. Her intense connection to paper became her most incandescent platform of transformation - a journey that began with her first piece created on a humble cardboard base and grew into complex compositions layered with paper, wood, watercolour, ink, acrylic, gold leaf, fabrics, dried leaves, mosses, stones and found natural materials. Each artwork resonates with a Brazilian touch, Mexican vibe and European breath, transporting viewers into playful, textural worlds of colour, texture and emotion.
Vision, Interpretation & Global Presence
Danic’s collages are not just visually striking - they are narrative experiences. Her work explores the many dimensions of love, from deep joy to poignant ache, and invites multiple interpretations through layered symbolism and material transformation. Viewers often become immersed in the stories her art tells, as each piece evokes emotion, curiosity and reflection. A sought-after artist in the international contemporary art scene, Danic has exhibited widely, including participation in renowned fairs and art events in London and beyond. Her practice champions the reuse and rebirth of materials, embracing her alchemist’s ethos of transformation and renewal.
