Born in Bucharest Romania, I studied Fine Arts for eight years at Tonitza art school, obtaining the Baccalaureate in Fine Arts. I then chose to continue my studies in Architecture, in Bucharest and successively in Paris where I graduated. During many years of living in France, I continued to explore all facets of visual expression, mainly drawing and painting, occasionally sculpting and computer art. In time, a body of work developed and matured. Art became a way of expressing my deepest self. I am currently a resident of Portland, Maine. Now more than ever, I wish to cultivate my art as a total way of living, personal and professional alike. Oana Lauric | |
My paintings explore both realism and mythical allegory. Each one of them narrates a story, engaging the viewer in an array of emotions from a woman's perspective. In my paintings I often incorporate oil and colored pencil or graphite, golden pigments and acrylics in a mixed media approach. The human body offers an infinite vocabulary of shapes and textures, the transparencies and reflections of the skin playing with the light provide a continual source of inspiration. Here on the ocean shore, the colors emerge in bold contrasts and shining solar vibrations unlike anywhere else. | |
