Laura Porcelli
São Paulo, SP
Laura Porcelli is an Argentine artist known for abstract acrylic works that blend color, texture, and light to express nature’s movement and energy.
Message
- Laura Porcelli is an Argentine artist who has exhibited her paintings nationally and internationally, including in Canada, the United States, and Brazil. Her work explores themes of nature and fleeting sensory impressions — light, wind, the dynamism of natural forces, and the essence of movement itself.
- Porcelli’s abstract compositions are grounded in the concept of kinetic energy, the energy associated with motion. Using acrylics and oils on canvas or glass, she creates luminous, transparent layers that evoke rhythm, atmosphere, and vitality.
