Long before she picked up a paintbrush, Latana was already searching for what lay beyond what she could see. That search has never ended.

From the ages of five to thirteen, she lived in a convent boarding school where much of the outside world was glimpsed through windows, long corridors, and doors left slightly open. Looking back, she recognises those years as the beginning of a lifelong curiosity about what lies beneath the visible.

Now based in Singapore, Latana is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice has evolved through photography, sculpture, mixed media, digital art, and painting. Whether documenting an abandoned Tuscan villa, photographing the remote Phuktal Monastery in the Himalayas, or creating her current series, Beauty, Amid Rupture, she has remained guided by the same question:

How can light emerge from within darkness, memory, and material?

Her work invites viewers to slow down, look beyond the surface, and discover that what appears broken may be where the light begins.
