Lauric, American artist born in Bucharest, lived in Paris for a decade and is currently working in her studio in Boston. She has a French Architect degree and a Romanian Fine Arts Baccalaureate. Oana worked as an architect and a designer for several years in France and USA, before becoming a professional artist painter in 2001.
Artist Statement
In my paintings, I explore the impact of our environment on our psyche; I believe that the surroundings we create influence the way we behave. My paintings reflect a voyage, a movement through space and time, a dynamic perception of our man-made environment. Through light and shadows, depth and chromatic intensity, matching visual and auditive rhythms or contrasting textures, my intent is to signal the power of our surroundings and hopefully raise expectations in their regards. “We are shaped by these spaces as much as we shape them!”
