Area of expertise

Arts

A graduate of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. A sculptor and socially engaged artist, she has been working with clay for many years, exploring the therapeutic aspect of creativity in her art. Laura's works relate to working with emotions, the body, and the subconscious. Her latest exhibition, "Totems of Evolution," was presented at the City Gallery in Wrocław as the culmination of her master's thesis. She compared creativity to an evolutionary movement that underpins understanding. The young artist actively participates in many exhibitions, international symposia, and artistic activities, and she also conducts clay contact workshops and shares knowledge in the fields of art therapy and psychosomatics. She creates in relation to ethnic and primitive art, using natural materials and techniques, combining them with modern sensitivity and aesthetics. In her work, she addresses the topic of children's natural expression and the role of intuitive movement.
