Marta Lamovsek

Grounded empath & free-spirited seeker; human nature disciple & soulful healer, Marta is much more than a photographer, artist and creative director. ICONBOOTH has been her signature Dubai installation where she adorns subjects with trinkets from far-flung corners of the Earth.

DEVOTED TO ART

Is there a point in your life when you said to yourself, “I am devoting myself to Art”?
