About the Artist

After years of art study and a baccalaureate in Fine Arts, Oana Lauric went on to graduate from a Parisian University with a DPLG Degree in Architecture. She worked as an architect on various projects ranging from athletic stadium to industrial facilities to private residencies in the US.

Yearning for more creative and artistic freedom and the need for unrestricted self-expression,
in 2000 she took an extended sabbatical for the full time exploration of painting and art in general.
Soon, Oana knew there was no way back, her initial passion prevailed and art became the way of expressing her deepest self. Now more than ever, surrounded by the fresh, powerful beauty of Maine, Oana Lauric cultivates her art as a total way of living, personal and professional alike.

This born-again artist plays with colors, mediums and textures, while as a trained architect she explores and studies volumes, forms, space, and new technologies.
A merging of both selves creates varied artistic expressions in the form of partially abstracted figurative paintings, like the series ?SPACES?. In her canvases color is celebrated, she challenges the senses of scale and perspective for better suggesting a mood, a yearning.
Media and tools are mixed and blended, reality and imaginary visions get playfully tangled and nourish each other.
