Faina LorahFaina Lorah is a visual folklorist and artist who blends traditional art-making techniques with a modern, magical touch to create a world of whimsy. Deeply inspired by her Slavic heritage, she reimagines folk art with bold colors and intricate storytlling to bring mythology and lore to life. She seeks to make stories around the world both approachable and enchanting while weaving timeless tales through her oil paintings and watercolor art. Born in Russia and raised across multiple countries, she brings a nomadic, cross-cultural sensibility to the study of world mythology by seeking out the stories that formal history overlooked, the figures that centuries of retelling distorted, and the traditions that exist only in fragments. Her work is an act of recovery as much as creation. Faina identifies as a global citizen and spends her time as a nomadic artist traveling Asia, Europe, and North America with her partner and dog.
