LALA DRONA
Lala Drona is a Franco-American artist of Venezuelan heritage working between Paris and London. A graduate of the Royal College of Art (MA Painting), she has exhibited internationally, including her 2024 solo show Virtual Reverence at Elios Gallery, Paris. Featured in Art Plugged and on Carrie Scott’s Seen podcast, her practice explores what she calls the “Abject Feminine,” shifting from the body’s exterior to its interior and affective states. Through visceral landscapes and totemic figures, her paintings evoke the digital and summon forms that are bodily yet uncanny, unstable and ever-changing.
Raised in a bi-cultural household of internet pioneers and entrepreneurs, and shaped by reconstructive surgeries, she grew up attuned to the body’s viscerality and the experience of inhabiting it. Painting is the site where the body evolves beyond itself, spilling forward in relentless motion, a force of becoming that exceeds containment.
She lives and works between Paris and London.
