Lola Lasurt's work focuses on painting and how it can address political and social themes. She explores history and memory through imagery, often using found photographs as a starting point for her works. She is also interested in how people perceive and remember places, and how painting can be used to evoke emotions and sensations associated with these places. Lola Lasurt has been honored with several awards, including the Fundació Guasch Coranty Plastic Arts Prize in 2013 and the GAC Award in 2014. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and her presence in the contemporary art world continues to grow and gain recognition.
