Lana Daubermann
is an Australian painter
Lana Daubermann is a Melbourne artist, originally from Western Australia, currently living near Merri Creek in Coburg North. She is a resident artist at Pentridge Studios in Coburg.
She primarily works in oils and enjoys the immersive qualities of paint and it’s endless possibilities in mark-making. Her practice is always evolving as she trys to push her artistic vocabulary to find new ways of describing light and atmosphere in pieces that are realistic and abstract all at once. Fleeting feelings, the passing of time and a sense of nostalgia are common threads that weave through her work.
‘Light and space effects my mood so greatly - a small shift in the sun, the temperature of a breeze or a subtle change in scent can have such an impact on how I feel in any moment. It’s these impermanent human experiences I try to capture.’
She exhibits regularly, please sign up to her newsletter if you’d like to be kept in the loop.
