To enrich this experience, Lana experiments with various mediums, capturing moments that might otherwise be overlooked or dismissed as coincidental. Through her art, she aims to connect with others by offering new perspectives on the world around her, creating a universal language that speaks to all. Living in L.A. has greatly influenced Lana Shmulevich’s growth as an artist, inspiring her to showcase how each person leaves their own mark on the city, for better or worse. She sees herself as a seed breaking through the cracks of cement, a reflection of how the urban landscape shapes both her and her work. What fuels Lana’s passion is the ability to see things for what they represent, while suggesting new meanings and interpretations through her art.
