    LAURA GARCIA KARRAS

    LAURA GARCIA KARRAS

    Laura Garcia-Karras defines her paintings as silent spaces. In the depths of silence, a pictorial, philosophical and poetic reflection is established, mainly based on time. The representation of the living (trees, branches, flowers, foliage) translates our destabilized relationship to images. She holds a natural construction, the mineral molding of a living form, plant or animal living form, vegetable or animal, whose print crossed the time to be found in her hand. A sensation, close to the sublime, which is the basis of a physical, conceptual and plastic research. (Text: Julie Crenn)

    Laura Garcia-Karras was born in 1988 in Lilas, France. She graduated from La Cambre, Brussels and then the Beaux-Arts de Paris. In 2018, she was the laureate of the Concours Fondation Crédit Agricole in France and she won the third place of the Prix Antoine Marin, presented by Bernard Grize. She is now artist in residency in the Poush Manifesto in Auberveillers, France.
