Laura Porcelli In The Studio
"I am an artist by vocation and training but above all by necessity, Art gives value to my existence"
Describe your creative process.
My process begins with a visual impression and with a personal experience. I start with the sketches outside the place, then I take it to my art atelier where in small sheets I carry out several tests playing with the 3 most important elements: shapes, composition and color. From there I go to the canvas in the dimension that I see its best potential. My work is not spontaneous but I like it to feel like it.
