Lia
Gafita

Lia Gafita was born in Romania in 1997 and moved to Cremona, Italy at the age of six, before going on to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano starting in 2016. Lia is currently a graduate student enrolled in the Master's degree course in Architecture-Built Environment-Interior.

She is a self-taught artist interested in drawing, painting and, last but not least, photography. In high school she started receiving her first commissions. She had experimented with many techniques and subjects over the years, until she started painting mainly with acrylics. Her work has been influenced by photography and her education in architecture, which she has always seen it as a dimension that has rules and is compulsorily subjected to the gaze of the community, often resulting in a rigid view. Painting and drawing, on the other hand, are the opposite, his way of escaping from an ordered and regulated system. Through painting, she is able to dare to colour and shape his thoughts, memories and dreams.
