The artistic world of ArtFull Studio

Ladan's artistry is a beautiful blend of personal expression, texture and timeless materials. With over 12 years of experience in interior design, painting and sculpture, she brings a modern twist to traditional techniques, particularly through her expertise in plaster art and patina finishes. In her works, you can find a dynamic play of texture, colour, and form, each designed to transform a space and tell a unique story. 

Ladan's work is rooted in her affinity for texture, especially the transformative properties of plaster and clay. The artistic process for her is about losing herself in the tactile exploration of materials, which allows her to create spaces and furniture that evoke depth, emotion and character. Her minimalist approach to design encourages out-of-the-box thinking, blending the old and new in ways that are both striking and subtle. 

From feature walls inspired by natural effects to one-of-a-kind furniture crafted from plaster and paper mâché, Ladan’s pieces are more than just décor, they're an experience. Every piece she creates reflects her belief that art should connect deeply with both the artist and the space. 

This patina feature wall is painted in a mix of ReseneKalgoorie Sands, Resene Sandal, ReseneFX Gold metallic paint, Resene Milk Chocolate and Resene Biscuit Brown.  

Ladan's journey as an artist began with her graphic design background in Iran, where she honed her skills in patina techniques. But it wasn't until she moved to New Zealand that she fully embraced her artistic path, immersing herself in the craft of plaster art. Her transition into furniture design marked a new chapter, one that allowed her to merge artistry with functionality in unexpected ways. As her work evolved, so did the depth of her style, ultimately leading her to combine traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics for a truly unique artistic expression. 

This striking Moon and Tree art adds a unique 3D feature and focal point to this space. For this design, Ladan used a mix of Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream, Resene Thorndon Cream, Resene Triple Thorndon Cream, Resene White, Resene Quarter Grey Chateau, Resene Mountain Mist and Resene Shuttle Grey. 

To find her inspiration, Ladan draws from a mix of client needs, personal experiences and research. She collaborates closely with her clients, ensuring that each piece resonates with their vision while also staying true to her artistic integrity. She thrives on experimenting with different materials and styles, finding new ways to mix and match elements to create something unexpected and fresh. By creating multiple samples and constantly refining her approach, Ladan ensures each piece is thoughtfully crafted and deeply personal.
