About Laura

I’m a digital illustrator, and I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. Art has always been my escape and my way of finding peace. In my early years, I gravitated toward traditional media, with ink pens and pencils as my tools of choice. Though I experimented with many mediums, the ink pen felt the most natural.

In 2019 I decided to pursue art seriously. I built my portfolio and shifted fully into digital illustration, fascinated by the possibilities it offered. While traditional painting never felt right for me, digital painting carried its own kind of magic. Still, what I kept coming back to was the digital ink pen, drawing each detail by hand on my iPad in Procreate. The more I created, the more I fell in love with line work. Side by side, from my earliest pieces to today, the one thing that has never left my art is the intricate, twisted detailing of the line. It is what makes my work feel like mine.

Storytelling has always been at the heart of my art. I love reading, imagining characters, and building worlds, so it was only natural to bring that into my illustrations. Whether through a single piece or a connected series, I find joy in creating worlds full of meaning, nostalgia, and quiet longing. For a long time I focused on city scenes, late evenings, rainy days, glowing lights, places filled with memory and mood.

Lately, I have been leaning into larger, more complex works: big digital canvases with layered textures, details, and new techniques. I aim to communicate different ideas within one piece, embedding intricate details that reward a closer look.

My current series, The Valemour Estate, draws inspiration from Rococo masters, with touches of Victorian Gothic and Art Nouveau. It is ornamental, atmospheric, and always evolving.

I am always experimenting, always learning, always growing. Every piece reflects something of my own life, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that have brought me here, to tell stories and share them through art.
