​LAURIN CABRALISSA

​​

 

Over the past 18 years, my career in the fashion and beauty industry has been a journey of creative expression, with beauty and art constantly at the forefront.  I began by studying fashion design at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where I graduated top of my class with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and received the Critics Choice Award for my senior thesis in 2018.

 

Following my education, I spent six years as the head senior fashion designer for the renowned luxury brand Dennis Basso, honing my skills and expertise. However, it was in the last decade that art truly became more of a focus. I leveraged my expertise in sourcing, leather, and sewing to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that are unparalleled in the world.

​

My art explores the intricate relationship between humans and nature, capturing moments of harmony, discord, and the delicate balance in between. Inspired by nature's beauty and complexity, I reflect on our coexistence with the land and the subtle ways we shape and are shaped by the world around us. My paintings invite contemplation on this paradox, revealing the intricacies of our connection with the earth and the beauty that arises from it.

 

What's more, my media is also a nod to nature's splendor, as I paint on real python and other natural leathers. This unique canvas adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to my work, blending the boundaries between art and the natural world. 

 

My art has garnered widespread recognition, gracing the walls of distinguished galleries and boutiques worldwide. Notable showcases include Lux Contemporary Gallery within the iconic Rolls Royce in New York City, the Dennis Basso boutique in NYC, Diptych Fine Arts Gallery in Mexico City, and Passsionfruit Gallery in Naples, Florida. Furthermore, my work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and pop-up shops across the United States, captivating the attention of discerning art connoisseurs and high-end collectors. This widespread acclaim is a testament to the timeless beauty and allure of my art.
