Welcome to my digital portfolio! My name is Falcon Laina. I’m a multimedia artist with a strong ideological origin in drawing as a process and foundational medium. My work is an attempt to record images from vivid and strange dreams. This technique draws inspiration from the psychoanalytic surrealism in the work of Louise Bourgeois.
Falcon graduated summa cum laude with a BA from Bard College at Simon’s Rock in 2024. He concentrated in Visual Studies, and won the Division of the Arts Award for Academic Achievement in his senior year.
