Gaya Lastovjak

59 exhibitions, 37 art awards and 8 nominations, 31 publications.

In 2026, as the world seeks authenticity amidst the digital surge, the works of Gaya Lastovjak emerge as a powerful testament to the "Human Trace." Her unique 3D wall sculptures, meticulously crafted from papier-mâché, canvas, and oil, bridge the gap between painting and sculpture, offering a profound tactile experience.

Aligned with Saatchi Art’s 2026 focus on "Dream Logic" and "Psychological Depth," Gaya’s monochrome world strips away the distraction of color to reveal the raw architecture of emotion. Her frozen, faceless figures—often trapped in symbolic spaces—explore themes of loneliness, empathy, and social transformation. By utilizing white as a medium for light and shadow, she creates "living objects" that evolve with the viewer's environment.

Gaya’s art is not just a visual experience; it is an invitation to empathy. In an era of AI-generated perfection, her works celebrate the beauty of handcrafted texture and the unfiltered sincerity of the human spirit.
