LEA COLOMBO'S EXPLORATIONS OF THE BODY AND FREQUENCY THROUGH COLOR AND PHOTOGRAPHY

PHOTOGRAPHY


Lea Colombo is an artist from Cape Town, her work is characterized by dreamlike saturated colors and kaleidoscopic explorations of feminine energy, the self, and the emotion-provoking potential of color. Working across print, photography, painting, and sculpture, Colombo creates highly recognizable darkroom prints that express fluidity and intimacy, with vibrant explosive color that "punches the viewer's eye to reach their whole body." In May 2020, Colombo kept a visual diary titled "Colours of My Body"—several days of drawings, writings, and photographs capturing the body as it shifts through color and frequency. The final diary fragrance is a sensory translation of transformation.

Series Statement

Over fixed periods, we invite artists to keep a diary with us — through audio, text, video, image.

They share textures, thoughts and experiences from that time.

At the diary’s close, our perfumer creates a fragrance — not as translation, but as portrait.

A period in the artist’s life,
filtered through another’s attention.

The scent becomes an anchor, but not for preservation.

For return. For continuation in another form.
