DANIC LAGO

Danic Lago is a Mixed Media Artist based in London, UK.

Welcome to the Enchanting World of Danic Lago

I am delighted to welcome you into the beautiful, textured universe of Danic Lago — a Brazilian artist based in London, whose creative journey spans over 25 years across Switzerland, Mexico, and the UK. With roots in fashion trend research and deep collaborations with European and Brazilian designers, Danic has evolved into a true explorer of materials, emotions, and meaning.

Her mixed media creations are poetry made by hand — where textiles, colours, and found treasures come together in a dance of storytelling and soul. Each piece invites you into a space of curiosity and wonder, layered with interpretations that are deeply personal yet universally resonant.

Danic’s art is not just seen, but experienced. It reuses, reimagines, and reawakens – transforming everyday materials into moments of mystery, spirituality, and joy. I hope you feel just as transported and fall in love with her pieces as I do.
