Lara Buffard is a  French Baroque persona based in London. She is a performance artist, designer and maker who incorporates symbolic and surrealistic visuals. Lara is interested in exploring the personal, feminist strategies and subjectivities in a lived world, the liminal space between reality and fantasy, performance art and ritual.

She subverts the darkest aspects of life through striking and colourful images, communicating individual and social ideas in playful and powerful acts, transforming the human body into a Raphaelite creature.

This exploration extends to her work as a costume designer, where she creates performative garments that amalgamate the divine and the ephemeral, theatrical and natural, in a glamourously mythical result.

Lara graduated in Museology and later in Theatre Performance and Contemporary Live Arts.

She is Body Intelligence Collective's creative producer, which involves contemporary dance and new technology and visiting lecturer at different universities.
