Artist Biography
Lara Deutz is a multidisciplinary artist based in Rotterdam, known for blending visual art and music into a cohesive, story-driven universe. Her work explores themes of escapism, femininity, and idealism — expressed through paint, pencil, and sound. With an academic background in Media, Entertainment & Communication, she combines intuitive artistry with sharp conceptual thinking.
Raised by fine art painters Alex Meidam and Lynda Deutz, Lara grew up in an environment shaped by creativity. From an early age, she began writing, painting, and singing, gradually finding her artistic voice and her alter ego: Space Girl. What began as a spark in her bedroom has evolved into a multidisciplinary project featuring music, visuals, and merchandise. Despite challenges along the way, Lara remains committed to her mission: telling stories that resonate and create space — both literally and emotionally.
Her Space Girl project imagines astronaut perspectives in surreal or emotional settings, with a visual style influenced by Pop Art and Line Art. Think bold lines, imagined alien worlds, and a nod to icons like Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, and Picasso. Her aesthetic is minimalist yet expressive, futuristic with a retro space-age twist.
Musically, Lara takes her audience on a space journey with sharp edges. Her sound fuses jazz harmonies with pop hooks and a theatrical, narrative-driven style. Built on layered arrangements, unexpected turns, and ever-shifting dynamics, her songs keep you alert while offering moments of reflection. Think: a powerful live band, striking visuals, and lyrics that linger long after the song ends.
Creativity isn’t just a tool — it’s a way of life for Lara. Her art and music offer a soft rebellion against the chaos of the world, creating room for wonder, emotion, and imagination.
Artist Statement
From Space Girl’s perspective, I explore and shape the world through a spatial lens, where colors, lines, and forms unfold like a universe around me. My work challenges me to engage in dialogue with my surroundings and to share my vision through a single word, a brushstroke, or a sound. With my art and music, I aim to enrich the world, inspire others, and make a lasting impact.
