Reflections of the Soul Painting

Born in Vicenza, Italy, Sara Lora discovered her love for art early on, exploring painting, mixed media sculptures, and decorative vase work. She began crafting clothing at age 10. After relocating to Milan at 18 for architecture studies, she transitioned into the fashion industry. Notably, she worked as a designer for prestigious brands such as Giorgio Armani and Louis Vuitton. Her artistic journey is intertwined with a passion for artistic roller skating. Commencing at 6, she achieved significant milestones, securing the Italian championship at 11 and a global triumph at 16 with the Trissino-based New Age skating team. Although she had to set skating aside for education and career, its influence remained profound. In 2020, she sought to adorn her new home with art. Failing to find pieces resonating with her experiences, she began painting, fusing classical art's enduring beauty with her athletic passion. The "We ART the Champions" series emerged, fusing classic icons with sports elements. Her mixed media art encapsulates athletes' grace, strength, and movement in a blend of classical and contemporary styles. As a former roller figure skating world champion, her artwork draws on personal athletic experiences to vividly convey the physical and emotional intensity of sports.
