Laura Basterra Sanz

Born in 1979 in Barcelona, Spain, Laura Basterra Sanz creates intuitive and bold compositions of personal significance. From her Brussels studio, Laura delves into the evocative powers of colour in a quest to decipher the limitless dimensions and qualities of the Self.

Laura Basterra Sanz’s Style and Practice

In Laura’s abstract expressionist paintings, each colour resonates with a shade of emotion; each shape suggests a mood. In this way, her paintings reveal the changeable nature of being. Whether bold and brightly hued or muted and muddied, her works illustrate the many shifting facets of a single self.

Exhibitions

Laura has a BA in Fashion Design from Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain. She had a solo show in 2020 called Rain! And So On…, at See U Brussels, Brussels, Belgium. Laura has participated in multiple group exhibitions, including Hello, I Just Wanted To Know How You’re Doing, PILAR Brussels, House For Art And Science, Vrij Universiteit Brussel, Belgium (2022), Mostly Looking For The Same Things, XIV Lab, London, UK (2022), A Question Of Lines And Evolution, The Sun-Day Room, Brussels, Belgium (2021), and In The Circle Of Light, See U Brussels, Brussels, Belgium (2021).

Really impressed by the service, regular communications and quality of the artwork received. The website was easy to view and shop from with lots of relevant information to help with artwork selection. I received regular email updates which was really useful as it kept me in the know at all times. I could anticipate the tax payment and delivery. Thank you so much.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
