LAURAE _
I am Laurae, a San Antonio abstract artist. I have a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and began professionally in 2019. I specialize in abstract linework that balances negative and positive space. I create from my emotions, intuition, and perspective to have the viewer provoke questions from within. I’ve always been intrigued by my curiosity and encourage others to do the same and explore their passions.
As a local artist, I stay connected with San Antonio’s art community and have been increasing my presence through exhibitions, showcases, local art events and pop ups. You can find my work on display at Alamo Kitchens, and previously places like, Blue Star, Carver Center, Brushworks & Studios, and La Zona.
My journey with art is not only for me to express myself but to connect with people and give them a sense of alignment.

Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
As I explore my curiosity through art, I typically use acrylic, oils, and other mixed media, such as flowers, plaster, etc. I’m inspired by all that’s presented to me in this life as well as Greek and Renaissance art. I love to use the colors black, white, and gold and occasionally I will add a pop of color to switch things up. As curious as I am, I am also filled with a large amount of emotions that can become overwhelming so I transfer that energy into allowing myself to trust my body and become the messenger from my higher self into reality. I create heavily on how I feel while also being a perfectionist and paying close attention to detail. The purpose of my work is to express myself but also others to feel what I feel and connect, share, and provoke questions from within. We live in a society today where everything is so fast-paced and we are filled with how to feel or what to think, I want people to question what’s in front of them. I currently have work being shown in Blue Star, Alamo Kitchens, and Terra Cafe. I love to share my work when presented with an opportunity to inspire and to reach a larger audience. Seeing and hearing people’s interpretations and how they feel is so powerful, it allows them to know they’re not alone and that reminds me that what I do isn’t only for myself but for others.
