Danic Lago

Danic Lago is a Brazilian artist based in London, working with mixed media collage. Her practice is rooted in over 25 years of creative experience developed across Switzerland, Mexico, and the UK, shaped by an early career in fashion trend research and close collaborations with European and Brazilian designers.

Her work explores strength and emotion shaped by the intuition of the divine feminine. Using textiles, colour, and found objects, Danic creates layered compositions that function as visual poetry, handmade narratives that invite reflection, curiosity, and personal interpretation. Each piece unfolds slowly, revealing meaning through subtle symbolism.

Central to her practice is sacred transformation. By reusing and reimagining everyday materials,I breathe new life into what might otherwise be overlooked or discarded. This process-driven approach allows me to create works that feel both intimate and expansive, grounded in the physical world yet resonant with spiritism and otherworldy beauty.

Graduated in Business, I was a cool hunter and fashion forecaster, including production of fashion shows. I worked in Fashion Week in Mexico and London, created TrenDBook and TrendZ Bureau specialised in retail trends, as well as working as a fashion editor, columnist and international correspondent for Brazilian newspapers and magazines.

I attended Fashion Communication at Central Saint Martins in London and Fashion Styling at London College of Fashion and Istituto Marangoni.
