The Artist behind Lisa Ante Arts. Vienna

©️Lisa Ante

Lisa Ante Pangan,

is a Vienna-based artist and healthcare professional whose work bridges the worlds of contemporary art and compassionate care. As the lead nurse at an IVF institute with over 15 years of experience, she brings a unique, empathetic perspective to both her art and her profession. Lisa’s artwork is marked by a distinct blend of gouache, coffee, and elements of floral and embryonic imagery, creating pieces that evoke warmth, introspection, and connection.

Her creative practice explores multiple dimensions of identity and belonging, with a particular focus on diaspora art. Lisa reflects on the complex experience of navigating multiple cultural identities and the search for self within the diaspora. This theme intertwines with her use of flower and embryo imagery, symbolizing the delicate process of growth and transformation—both in the context of human life and artistic creation. The use of coffee as an unconventional medium adds a tactile depth to her work, enhancing the emotional resonance of her pieces while inviting viewers to connect with the textures and stories she conveys.

In Lisa’s work, the intersection of these themes—diaspora, the beginning of life, and the raw, earthy quality of coffee—creates a rich, layered narrative that explores the beauty and complexity of identity, creativity, and healing.

Specialisation

Giving back to affected couples and paying tribute to the IVF journey by expressing through art that an embryo has lived. Showing gratitude for life through my FlowerEmbryoArt. 

A personal approach to the Filipino Culture captured piece by piece through what defines me: farewells, memories and emotional worlds. 

Through the sepia effect the pictures seem like embodiments of our memories. On top of that, it’s amazing what you can do with such a natural thing as coffee, that is easily accessible and used.

Coffee Painting Workshop

Coffee as a medium is an ideal way to bridge Filipino and Austrian (coffee) cultures. In my workshops, I draw on knowledge from both coffee cultures to create a connection. This allows people to connect through art and build relationships through creativity. This is my contribution to fostering better interactions among multiple cultures and making the Filipino culture visible.

Coffeepainting has not only brought the inner creative out but has also become a popular way to bond with your group of friends or colleagues. You can book your team building, community building or shop event with me.
