Labin transforms her creative discourse into autonomous projects that allow great freedom of movement from one format to another, from one subject matter to another, using different styles and techniques in a single space of time. Her leitmotif is the essence of transformed language, full of irony, which denotes a clear handling of volumes and in the words of the artist herself, undoubtedly determines her ‘desire to create a three-dimensional aspect, to come out of the flat painting, to make something which urges to be touched.

Colour stimulates the perception of these tangible shapes, making reference to mood and spiritual condition. Labin expresses the infinite possibilities of composition through the use of colour and its tensions.  She rearranges the construction, stimulates our imagination, and bedazzles fantasies. The extensive repertoire with which the artist works on her creations makes her language recognizable in different spaces, a plural language which, although full of signs and codes of Venezuelan popular culture, also reflects the German influence of her training.  – Tahia Rivero.

Originally from Venezuela, Labin spent time in the United States, graduating from Columbia University.  She has since lived and worked in Germany for over twenty years, where she studied at the Hamburg Academy of the Arts.  She represented Venezuela in the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale, where her performances invoked the Velada Santa Lucia she has organized since 2001.
