Lauren Opia is a multidisciplinary visual artist, ceramicist, and filmmaker based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her work finds significance in the transient states between sentimentality, personal lived experiences and the human psyche, exploring how each individual’s Umwelt shapes their way of living.
Opia primarily works with ceramics and mixed media animation — two mediums that often meander into each other’s worlds to create a dialogue between Opia’s personal experiences and her unique reality — expressed through her use of colour, figuration and constructed environments.
