Biography

YoYo Lander is an autodidact painter living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Her visions emanate from all that surrounds her while abroad. YoYo’s work explores unconventional color palettes, bold color contrasts, and womanhood. Her subjects are comprised of an arrangement of brown color harmonies, placed on backgrounds of both subtle and loud color blocks.

YoYo creates her interpretations using personal photographs and stories from indigenous women as her inspiration. The figurative artwork enjoys a conversation between itself and it’s audience regarding joy, identity, sisterhood and community.
