Laura’s work combines emotion and form, focusing her study on the recovery and revaluation of the craftsmanship through a process of experimentation with technology. There is a very romantic part of her work that claims the visibility of manual trades, things made by people, one by one, with their peculiarities and differences that have lost their place today.
Those ways that Laura rescues are part of the Spanish manners of the last century and that is the first point of contact that is established with Sorolla, the Luminist painter and costumbrist par excellence. Laura does it through her pieces and Sorolla, representing people and contemporary tasks of his time.
