About the Artist

In constant pursuit of the sun while embracing its inherent shadows, this daughter of two Europes reflects today on canvas, from the other side of the ocean, her journey so far.

Oana Lauric, Italian artist born in Romania, lived and studied in Paris France for a decade and is currently working in her studio in Boston MA, USA.
She has a French Architect DPLG degree and a Romanian Fine Arts Baccalaureate.
She worked as an architect and a designer for several years in France and USA, before becoming a professional artist painter in 2001.

"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

Everything changes, nothing stays the same. This is particularly evident in European old towns and cities where centuries pile on top of each other, their wise shadows from the past intermingling with the present... where each building, wall, window with thousands of love-and-blood stories to tell, leans toward the ground to share a whisper.

As an accomplished artist Oana Lauric plays with colors, light and textures, while as a trained architect she explores, virtually without limitations, the impact of the built environment on our psyche.
Her objective is to signal the power of our built surroundings and raise expectations in their regards.
"We are shaped by these spaces as much as we shape them!"

Lauric is permanently represented by
Galerie du Soleil
in Naples, FL, Chasen Galleries in Richmond, VA and Charlotte, NC and Scott Bundy Galleries in Kennebunkport, ME.

She is an Associate Member of Copley Society of Art and a Signature Member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters.
