Francesco
Doria Lamba

My name is Francesco Doria Lamba, I've been painting and creating art since I'm 8 years old, I've studied art at school and subsequently design at Central Saint Martins university. In recent years I've created a fashion brand that I have sold recently. A few month ago I've suffered a stroke that made me stay in hospital for almost 3 months, when there I was half paralysed and I was seeing blurry from one eye, this was the moment when I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to art. At this point I had the idea on how to represent my feelings on paper. after I came out of hospital and regained the use of my hand, I started to create art all the time, one of the pieces I created is the one I am submitting to this competition.
