The drawings and paintings of Laura López Balza express a fervidness for the infinite richness and variety of what is observed, what is lived and what is imagined. Vivid color is the point of departure for the artist to express her passionate embrace of nature, the landscape and everyday life, while also narrating her own life experiences and inner world. They are minimal stories - remembered, imagined, lived or idealized - that reflect desires, preferences or fears; but they are always a hymn to 'joie de vivre'. 

Laura López Balza graduated from the University of the Basque Country in Spain with a degree in Fine Arts. Between 2007 and 2009 she completed doctoral courses at the University of the Basque Country, and in 2016 she graduated with a degree in Philosophy from the University of Valladolid, Spain. Her artwork has been widely featured in exhibitions across Spain, and she is the recipient of numerous residencies and awards.
