Lola Di Vito is a renowned contemporary painter and sculptor from Italy. She is also the pupil and more than likely the muse of Georges, known as Géo De Vlamynck, a famous Belgian multidisciplinary artist who taught Nicolas De Stael, among others. Born in Milan, she developed a passion for art and sculpture at an early age. She studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where she honed her skills and distinctive style. Her artistic approach is characterised by a blend of realism and abstraction, creating pieces that captivate and question the viewer.

Over 40 exhibitions, including in Brussels, Ixelles, Theux, Liège, Anderlecht, Deurle, Gent, Wannegem-Lede, Charleroi, Namur, Luxembourg, Sint-Martens-Latem, Köln, Heidelberg, Grimaux, Graz, Murnau, Bomburg and Kronberg (the last 4 in the GDR).
As part of Euro Arts in Paris, Barbizon, Oosterbeek, the Netherlands and England (Christchurch).
