"I was born, live, and work in Belarus. I predominantly create abstract works, using oil on canvas, hardboard, or in installations. Each of my pieces serves as a therapeutic practice in dealing with the environment. I feel the need to paint and I work intuitively. Despite the occasional sombre tone of my works, I strive to find a balance between shattered hopes and spiritual renewal."
Lora Pavlova was born in 1979 in Belarus. In 2001, she graduated in Merchandising from the Belarusian State University of Economics. Between 2009 and 2018, Lora dedicated herself to her own clothing design brand - Valenki Lora Pavlova. She started her career as an artist at the age of 38. In 2018, Lora delved into the realm of abstract oil paintings, actively showcasing her works in exhibitions both in Belarus and abroad. In 2021 she had a solo exhibition 'Conjugation' at the State Art Gallery Palace of Arts in Minsk. Subsequently, in 2022, Lora opened the doors of her workshop and gallery, 'Gallery Lepey,' nestled in a Belarusian village, where she not only welcomes visitors but also curates her own and fellow artists' exhibitions.
