Collection: Laura Espinosa

Laura Espinosa (b. 2003, Colombia) is a figurative artist, currently based in Italy. Working primarily with oil paint, her
practice is rooted in the tradition of classical realism, yet deeply engaged with the emotional and philosophical depth that painting can reveal.

A graduate with honors from the Florence Academy of Art,
Laura was recognized for her outstanding achievements,
including the award for Best Painting of the Year. She is currently part of the Academy’s Graduate-in-Residence
Program, where she continues to refine her artistic voice while contributing as part of the teaching faculty.

Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she has
received multiple awards and distinctions recognizing her
excellence in figurative art. Alongside her studio practice, she occasionally leads workshops, sharing her knowledge and approach with artists and students drawn to the timeless
language of realism.

Working primarily in oil, she is particularly drawn to portraiture
and the expressive potential of fashion—the way a silhouette, fabric, and brushstrokes can hold emotion, strength, and spirituality. With each piece, she invites the viewer to pause,
reflect, and reconnect with their souls through beauty.
