A course by Dara Lobeira
Dara Scully started taking photography at seventeen and has since then developed a creative voice and a universe through experimentation, error, and play. She studied Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca (Spain) and completed her technical training in photography at the EFTI School in Madrid (Spain).
In her work, she explores everything that seduces her and shapes her artistic universe: childhood and the transition to adolescence, instincts, the link between the human and the wild, and everything that lives in the shade. Dara’s photographic work has been exhibited at art fairs in Spain, Great Britain, France, and Iran.
