About

Lara Restelli discovered the world of stones, gems, and minerals by chance five years ago. Her fascination and admiration for these nature's beauties carried her on a long journey of exploration and discovery. Their exuberant colors and vibrant energy captivated her and drove her to make them the primary subject of her work. Naturally, color, form, and composition became the pillars of her artistic expression. She paints larger-than-life, realistic paintings of rocks, gems, and crystals that are full of color. Restelli’s oil paintings convey a great sense of joy, balance, and serenity, yet they are strong and powerful.

Restelli’s mastership in the use of her media, together with a skillful technique, make her art stand out and impress. Her powerful management of feelings, color, and composition results in a final contemporary masterpiece that delights and profoundly connects with the viewer.

Restelli is a Miami-based artist who has successfully exhibited in many well-established art shows, including a solo show at MIFA Gallery, Superfine Art Fair, Red Dot Miami Art Basel Week, Art Palm Beach, ArtsParks Miami, and Loyola School of the Arts Miami, among others. Restelli's artwork has also found its way into the homes of many Miami-based private collectors and numerous prestigious condominiums in Miami, FL, like Aria on the Bay, Melody, Square Station, Flagler on the River, and Skyview. Restelli's art education consists of many years of atelier training within the classical European school of realism.
