Introduction
IN A VAST UNIVERSE, OUR TALES UNFOLD,
A METAVERSE INVENTED, STORIES UNTOLD.
YET IN THE ANTHROPOVERSE, WHERE LIFE IS MEANT,
WE FIND OUR ESSENCE, OUR JOURNEY’S ASCENT.
MAY BEAUTY GUIDE LIKE A MORNING STAR,
BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, NEAR AND FAR.
ANTHROPOVERSAL ART, A FLAME IN THE HEART’S EMBRACE,
ECHOES OUR ESSENCE, OUR COSMIC GRACE.
WITH PATTERNS AND HUES, COLOURFUL STORIES IT IMPARTS,
AN ARTISTIC JOURNEY, REAWAKENING OUR HEARTS.
I’m Larissa Barton
a devoted colourist
on a journey to unravel
the vibrant tapestry of existence.
In the dance of light,
I find the essence of life translated
into an endless array of colours,
and it’s this kaleidoscope
that I celebrate through my art.
About My Origins
Imagine a childhood born from the fusion of Moldova’s rural traditions and the enchanting landscapes of Italy. In this dual heritage, my artistic journey took its first breath, a journey that echoes with a kaleidoscope of experiences. As a child, my surroundings were filled with the subtle whispers of art, more of a comforting background presence than a bold, attention-grabbing force. It was here that the seeds of my passion for artistic expression were sown, awakening slowly but inevitably. In the serene embrace of the Moldovan countryside, I discovered solace and joy in the act of molding clay. In a landscape where inventiveness was a necessity, I found myself creating an entire world—my playground. From sewing clothes for my lone doll to crafting companions from corn cobs, my creativity danced freely, laying the foundation for a future I had yet to envision and embrace.
THE DISCOVERY OF PAINTING
In the midst of the challenging days of Covid-19, my genuine artistic revelation unfolded unexpectedly. Amidst isolation and restrictions, I stumbled upon the liberating power of painting. Grasping fluid colours discovered an escape route, a pathway to shatter the confines of material reality and delve into realms of shape and colour. Painting transformed into more than a passion—it became a necessity enabling me to expand the mind and liberate the soul.
forging bonds between humanity, art, and objects
Let me take you on a journey into the heart of Anthropoversal art, where the threads of my past, woven through the corridors of anthropology studies at the University of Bologna, intertwine with the vibrant canvas of my present and future in art.
Picture this: the motivation to digitise my canvases didn’t arise merely from technical innovation but from an innate desire. I envisioned my art seamlessly integrated into the fabric of my daily life – on the surfaces of my home, the clothes I wore, and the objects that surrounded me. This very vision is what I present to the companies I engage with, offering a unique perspective on the fusion of art with the everyday. Consider human existence as a rich tapestry, a narrative spun with paradoxes. In our creative act of shaping objects, we, in turn, become shaped by them. Here lies the core of anthropoversal art – a profound realisation that the objects we interact with possess the profound ability to influence and transform us.
Step into the anthropoverse, a cosmic reflection of the universe’s orientation towards the one. It’s not just a direction but a conscious choice – that of humanity. It unfolds as a personalised path, a creative realm where we can craft, narrate, and rewrite our human stories. Art becomes a medium for us to shape and be shaped, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where every object tells a story waiting to be heard.

my paintings
In the magical realm of colours, they whimsically mingle, each shade dancing with the other at its own fancy. They playfully overlap, maintaining their distinct identities, or gracefully merge, giving birth to entirely new hues. Flowing across the canvas like rivers meandering across the land, they, in your gaze, transform into landscapes and fluid realms that weave tales of the universe.
Sometimes, these enchanting colors evoke the essence of precious gems, mimicking the brilliance of minerals, or mirroring the breathtaking vistas of earthly landscapes seen from above. On occasion, they come together to form abstract shapes—an ethereal face, a mythical creature, or even a winged being. Their playful dance teases your imagination, drawing you into a world of co-creation and interaction.
Their secret lies in this unique dance, pulling forth those whispered “Wow! How beautiful” exclamations from you. In the end, these colours serve as mirrors to your soul, reflecting the awe and wonder hidden within the depths of your being. It’s a captivating story of colors and co-creation, where each stroke is a page turned, revealing the magical tapestry of your inner world.
approach
crafting universes through colours and connections
In my artistic journey, I embrace a unique approach that transcends the conventional boundaries of expression. Each stroke of colour on the canvas is not just a mark; it’s a deliberate exploration into the realms of connection and creation. Here’s how I approach my art:
Anthropoversal Perspective: My creations are infused with an anthropoversal perspective—a conscious blend of anthropology and art. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and human connections, I craft pieces that resonate with the universal essence of humanity. It’s not merely about creating art; it’s about capturing the intricate threads that weave our shared human experience.
Fractal Patterns as Narratives: Incorporating fractal patterns into my work, I see each intricate design as a narrative waiting to unfold. These patterns, echoing the complexity of our interconnected lives, breathe life into spaces and objects. They become a language that speaks of the beauty found in chaos, spontaneity, and the harmonious dance of colours.
Co-Creation with Spaces: Beyond the canvas, my art extends into the spaces we inhabit. Collaborating with businesses, designers, and architects, I transform environments into living artworks. The goal is not just aesthetic enhancement; it’s about telling stories that resonate with the soul of a space. Each project becomes a canvas—a shared journey where art and space co-create narratives that transcend the ordinary.
Fashion as a Canvas: In the world of fashion design, I extend my artistic philosophy. Each garment becomes a canvas, and every thread carries the essence of storytelling. I weave together fabrics and colours to create wearables that are not just clothing but narratives of personal expression. My approach to fashion is a celebration of individuality, intertwining the threads of culture, history, and personal style.
Fluidity of Pouring Art: The pouring art technique is my chosen medium, allowing colours to flow freely and unpredictably. This method mirrors the fluidity of life—constantly evolving, shaping, and transforming. Each piece becomes a testament to the beauty found in embracing the unknown, a visual symphony of colours narrating stories beyond the tangible.
In essence, my approach to art is a celebration of the human connection, a dance of colours that intertwine with the stories of spaces and the shared experiences of our existence. Join me in this journey where every creation becomes a universe waiting to be explored and every colour a thread weaving tales of our collective story.
