Her Artistic Journey, Technique, and Strength
The strength of Lauriola’s artistic journey lies in her ability to maintain a consistent thread throughout the different series of works she loves to create. It is important to highlight the thematic coherence and her ability to explore universal emotions, represented through an original approach to materials and the harmony she creates between abstraction and figuration, both central elements of her color and form-based poetics.
Her technique manifests itself in a surprisingly eloquent and engaging way. Colors play a central role, not as mere pigments but as vehicles for deep and hidden emotions. Her brushstrokes seem to channel a primordial instinct, as if each stroke were an unconscious call to the energy of nature. The texture she creates is fascinating: the resin adds a material dimension that transforms the flat surface of the canvas into a tactile, almost sculptural space. The contrast between fluidity and structure is evident in how the resin integrates with acrylic and enamel, creating a dialogue between the liquid and the solid, the gestural and the deliberate. This juxtaposition of materials highlights an artistic process that appears both meditative and instinctive. Moreover, there is a visible tension between the figurative and the abstract, inviting the viewer to explore each work as an inner landscape. Each of her creations seems to be a powerful reflection on the dualism between the visible and the invisible, on what emerges and what remains hidden, compelling the observer to question and immerse themselves in a suspended, intimate, and vibrant dimension. The use of space, often empty or undefined, gives her works a metaphysical character, evoking a dimension beyond time and space, as if it were a window opened onto the unconscious.
