About Ladan
Ladan is an Iranian artist whose work is defined by expressive textures and contemporary abstract forms. With more than 20 years of experience in graphic design and diverse painting styles, she has developed a distinctive artistic voice rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and emotional depth.
Her creative background extends beyond the canvas. Ladan spent over a decade working as an interior designer in Iran, where she refined her understanding of materials, colour, and spatial harmony. After relocating to New Zealand, she began exploring new mediums to find the perfect textures for her evolving artistic practice. This journey led to the launch of her solo venture, Little Touch Patina, in 2021.
A pivotal moment in Ladan’s artistic path came when she discovered resin art. During this exploration, she met Roya—an accomplished resin artist and inspiring teacher. Their shared passion sparked a collaborative partnership that included joint projects and a showcase at the Auckland Home Show in 2024.
As their creative vision expanded into new materials and styles, Ladan and Roya rebranded their collaboration as ArtFull Studio. At ArtFull, they believe every person carries a unique story, and their mission is to translate those stories into bespoke artworks through texture, resin, and thoughtful design. Their focus is on crafting one‑of‑a‑kind pieces that reflect each client’s individuality.
Recently, Ladan has immersed herself in modern plaster art. She finds freedom in the interplay of plaster and colour, creating contemporary wall finishes that are both tactile and expressive. Her work in this medium is deeply personal—an honest reflection of her inner world, shaped by emotion, memory, and intuition.
