Portrait of a woman with dark curly hair looking upward, with a projection of a landscape on her face and background.
A person standing against a dark tiled wall, wearing a black jacket, dark pants, white sneakers, sunglasses, and a cap, with a blurred figure passing by in the foreground.
A mirrored photograph of a woman wearing a black hoodie, sunglasses, and a cap, sitting outside next to a stone and brick wall with two windows. In the left image, she is holding flowers, and in the right image, she appears to be resting her head on her hand, with a bouquet of flowers on the table beside her.

Studio Higan is a multidisciplinary creative studio founded by Lela Amparo, where visual art and ambient music converge to create immersive, multi-sensory experiences. Amparo’s work delves into the connections between memory, place, and the surreal, blurring the boundaries between the known and the imagined.

As a visual artist, she harnesses machine learning to transform photography from her travels into otherworldly landscapes—familiar terrain altered into dreamlike, ethereal dimensions. Raised in Tucson, Arizona, and now based in Gothenburg, Sweden, Amparo draws inspiration from the distance between these two worlds, capturing the melancholy of movement and the disorienting beauty of displacement.

Her music follows a similar path. As an ambient music producer with over 20 million streams, Amparo composes cinematic soundscapes that echo the vastness and quiet mystery of her visual work. By merging sound and imagery, she invites her audience into reflective spaces where time seems to stretch and reality feels fluid.
