Lisa. C

Elisabete Cargnello, aka Lisa. C, was born in 1973 in Paris. It is during her adolescence that her passion for drawing and particularly for portraits takes shape. A self-taught artist, she explores different techniques such as charcoal and ink before deciding for oil painting that she mixes with collages of old newspapers. Her painting is a way for her to share laughs and sometimes the tenderness of everyday scenes with the audience. Lisa. C associates characters of old vintage papers and creates this way scenes with comments, sometimes tender, sometimes funny. Very much influenced by 1950s ads, she tries to recreate that atmosphere in her paintings. Her painting is halfway between realism and comics.
