Victoria sits down with Lara Alcantara Lansberg, a Venezuelan-American multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, sculpture, installation, performance, and writing, for an inspiring conversation about creative freedom, personal transformation, and the power of art.

Lara shares her journey from photography to a multidisciplinary practice, including the deeply personal story behind her sculptural works made from broken vintage plates, inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi. Together, Victoria and Lara explore the importance of taking creative risks, overcoming perfectionism, and rediscovering the joy of making art.

Key points -

• Moving beyond one medium and embracing creative experimentation
• Using art as a tool for healing and self-expression
• Overcoming creative blocks, fear, and perfectionism
• Rediscovering curiosity, play, and creative freedom
• Trusting your intuition and taking artistic risks

This conversation is a reminder that creativity doesn't have to follow a single path. Sometimes the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when we let go of expectations and give ourselves permission to explore what's possible.
