Artist Statement

Water fascinates me because it holds contradictions. It is powerful yet delicate, transparent yet unfathomable. It can heal, conceal, reveal and transform. In many ways, it mirrors the human experience itself.

Through painting, I explore these moments of transformation. My work seeks to capture not only the visible beauty of water, but also its emotional resonance—the sensations, memories and quiet states of being that exist beneath the surface.

The women who inhabit my paintings are symbols of presence, introspection and connection. Immersed in water, they occupy a space between the external world and the inner self, where time slows and awareness deepens.

Whether through the movement of waves, the shimmer of reflected light or the fragile perfection of a drop of water, I invite the viewer to enter a contemplative space: a place where stillness and movement coexist, where emotions flow freely, and where the infinite can be discovered in the smallest detail.

About

Laura Carolina was born in Milan in 1974.

She has always been fascinated by images and of how the great artists of the past represented the world.

Since she was a child she breathed the scent and magic of her father’s oil paintings, leafed through his art books, visited the most important museums in Italy and of lately also throughout the world.

After working for 15 years in the advertising and media environment, she became mother of two wonderful children.

As they grew up they made her rediscover her passion and it was them who encouraged her to return to oil painting. Mixing up the colours and dipping in the paint brushes are a pleasant comeback to those customary gestures which nourish her soul with extraordinary strength!

The in-depth study of the biographies of the greatest Italian artists, their works, their points of view, their views on reality and the visual impact that their works generated, have influenced Laura’s paintings and her constant search for beauty in what she creates.
