"REALLY, REALLY, RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE"
Name: Lisa Larsson
Profession: I wouldn´t necessarily call myself an artist, but having to describe it - that´s probably the closest it gets. I paint because I love it. I create art, but still I wouldn´t call myself an artist. Everyone in NYC claims to be more than they are, so that´s why I don´t like calling myself one! Maybe someday - who knows? But I´m still finding myself.
Origin: I´m from Gothenburg, Sweden
Lisa is as beautiful as it gets. Not only does she resemble a pretty Swedish girl that all guys dream about, but she also backs the beauty with astonishing character. An up and coming artist with undeniable talent, her Richard Phillips inspired paintings are bound to end up amongst art collectors. One of which can be seen at the revamped club, Marquee.
Your passions:
Art gets me up, gets me out of bed. So yeah, my passion is art!
If I weren’t me, I would be:
Richard Branson. I just want to live his life. That would be awesome!
Best trait about yourself; physically and mentally:
I like that I´m able to be alone. People always seem to need people around them to talk or to keep them entertained, but I love being alone...alone with my own thoughts. I get sad when I see people that can´t be alone.
What do I like phisically about myself:
I like my hands.
First thing in the morning:
I probably wake up around 2pm, if I´m not doing anything...haha, and then I start watching a movie!
Mealtime ritual:
No ritual. I eat so much food. Food is like the biggest joy in my life. I love almost everything and I like trying new stuff.
Something you´d never do or give for money:
Have sex with someone!
Have you experienced unrequited love, and what did you do about it:
Oh my god. Actually no, but then again I´m never interested long enough in someone to have a relationship. I´m not lying when I say I´m sexually afraid... I always end up in situations where I should have sex, cause I do enjoy sex, but then I never do it... I never go through with it. I´m not a virgin, I do enjoy sex!
Unrequited love will probably happen someday, but if I decide on something I´m getting it!
Dream date:
I have so many! I want it to be so crazy. I want suprises, like crazy, crazy suprises...skydiving or something. Crazy things you don´t expect and you could die doing!
Favorite designer:
At the moment I love Alexander Wang. He´s really f***ing talented!
Favorite musician:
I love Rock´n Roll. I love the Beatles! I love the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Rock´n Roll is the best!
Favorite restaurant in NYC:
When I was 17, I visited NYC and went to this Asian place called Klong...it´s on St. Marks Place. It´s delicious and I keep going back there. Maybe not my favourite but it´s my go to place.
