Lovers (2021) Painting by Laorens

Passionate about light, I have developed a resolutely modern approach to my inspirations by bringing both a sometimes abstract or realistic naive touch to contemporary subjects while applying conventional and advanced oil and acrylic painting processes. . I try to capture the elusive with perseverance. I only work with natural light.

My path of experience and my sensitivity have oriented me towards a romantic, poetic and contemporary style.

Exhibited in Switzerland, New York, Rome, Palermo and France, I renew my art daily and continue to work passionately on my technique.

Child the painter who haunted my thoughts was Pierre Auguste Renoir. I loved his pastel colors, his delicate fuzziness, these flesh tones for the skin colors, these shadows and lights and above all his way of giving life both in his characters and in his landscapes.

Maybe being is it the fact of only seeing with one eye that I discovered a way of seeing this light that particularly touched me and inspired me to paint from an early age.

< p>Later, I became interested in Claude Monet, always for the colors, his subjects mainly of nature, led me to observation, to take the time not to see the whole of a set of things, but to look at what surrounded me with details. It was at this moment that the learning of the eye and the brain began to arise and to reproduce what I was looking at and that others did not see. I was twelve years old at that time.

At the age of 18, my attraction was directed towards Gustave Caillebotte for his attention to detail in search of reality and, on the contrary, Salvador Dali for the perfection but also the real in the unreal.

It was in 1992 when I entered the school of fine arts, a new passion was born. Complementary to painting, I am talking about sculpture. I practiced it for two years without stopping.

After a visit to the Auguste Rodin museum, it was on Camille Claudel that I set my sights. This finesse in his work, I felt his passion, his tearing and his brilliance, the life in his plasters and marbles, for me his works were grandiose and filled me with enthusiasm, I fed on his art day and night.

I drew his works to understand them, the light, the volumes but also his feelings and his gaze. Not perceiving 3 dimensions, sculpture has helped me a lot in my work in 2 dimensions.

In 2022, engraving opened my mind, essays, chemistry , acids, etching, engraving on linoleum, plexiglass, steel, copper as well as mastering the press. It was a universe linked to magic.

I started exhibiting my work at fourteen, I exhibited my paintings in Brittany, in my 14th century tourist village of Rochefort en Terre, in Lorient, Vannes, St Malo, then after my studies I exhibited internationally.

Since 2011, I have been listed at Drouot.
