She began her professional career in 2010, exploring various media including photography, painting and collage. Her work has been exhibited at numerous national and international art fairs, such as Justmad, Justlx Lisbon, Artmontpellier, Setup Bologna and Affordable Art Brussels.

Marta Lastra's work is a journey through the different places where she has lived, a very personal look at her surroundings, both urban and natural.

She builds her space from experience: she photographs, draws, paints and accumulates images that are later transformed into creative material. She uses various technical procedures and incorporates all the expressive resources at her disposal. She resorts to plastic strategies such as collage and the superimposition of planes, while simultaneously exploring pictorial expressiveness and the documentary dimension of photography.

Her work combines lived reality with a constructed reality, configuring a psychic landscape where elements she chooses to preserve coexist with others she opts to eliminate; abstract spaces and recognisable fragments.

In this way, Marta Lastra's work invites the viewer to reflect on the subjectivity of space, proposing a gaze that goes beyond simple representation and that dialogues with the constructive elements of pictorial language.
