More About Lali Torma
What inspires you?
Nature, surfaces, patterns, light movements
Describe your creative process.
Once the decisions about color and starting point are taken, I work by staying in the moment, thus keeping connected to each element and step of the process. I work with a large nib calligraphic pen that, after thousands of lines, has now become an extension of my body. It is a meditative state reinforced by the repetitive movement, a state of simple spontaneous flow where I vanish and let bigger forces play.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
Surface flow, journey into the unconscious, new connections
