ABOUT LABELA
Painter, Writer and Dreamer
I like the feeling I get from creating something; the world stops, it freezes.
I like being with my imagination in her own Wonderland, although occasionally I lose sleep or forget to eat.
I love when I manage complete immersion in my creations, such that my notion of identity disappears. And suddenly, I find myself creating work without ego, practically unconsciously, totally immersed, flowing like watercolors, dancing with water or walking in a park in autumn, side by side with my cat Margot.
Each artwork I create is unique unto itself. My paintings are the result of a moment and therefore, unrepeatable in its totality. I invite you to travel through them carefully so that they can come to you and show you their secrets.
My work is a constant exploration of inner reality and the collective unconscious in an attempt to make it visible, looking for a certain integrity, with vertigo and tranquility inherent in the depths of the human soul.
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

My History
Trajectory
My name is Laura.
I’m a fine Artist and a Psychology student based in Girona, Catalonia.
I was studying Psychology at the Ramon Llull University in Barcelona, when I came across this quote from Friedrich Nietzsche:
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
This phrase, somehow and for reasons that are irrelevant here, threw me into the art world full of determination. I enrolled in the LLOTJA High School of Art and Design (Barcelona), and ended up majoring in art fire enamel on metal.
So, I’m passionate about art, philosophy and psychology.

What is said about my artwork?
“Laura, mejor dicho LaBeLa, posee una gran sensibilidad. Esto no dista de otros muchos artistas que pueden poseerla. Lo que a LaBeLa la hace especial es que su sensibilidad es de gran calidad. Su percepción, su visión, su comprensión… se mueve en unos niveles que pocos pueden alcanzar. A través de su obra se nos ofrece una ventana para comprender el amplio rango que abarca la existencia. Su obra es profunda, de gran calado, transmutada a través de cada gota de sudor, sea ésta proveniente del más triste lamento o de la sublimación del más elevado goce.”
“A Laura tuve oportunidad de conocerla como estudiante en la Facultad. En estos años, ha desarrollado, en su obra artística, una creatividad y sensibilidad que ya apuntaba en sus años de Universidad. Su obra creativa no deja de sorprenderme continuamente. Está llena de intensidad, delicadeza, pasión… Para mí, es un orgullo poder recomendar a una persona y profesional que, trazo a trazo, no ha hecho más que crecer desarrollando su potencial. Una obra magnífica para ver y disfrutar.”
