Laura Porcelli is best known for her abstract acrylic paintings that use colors, textures, and layers to explore themes of movement and light in nature. Born and raised in Argentina, Porcelli draws inspiration from her Latin American roots. Her works are vivid, powerful, and dynamic.
Porcelli has exhibited worldwide, in locations such as the Belgo Gallery in Montreal, Centro de Convenciones in Buenos Aires, Paulo Prado Gallery in São Paulo, and Agora Gallery in New York. Porcelli's works are held in private and institutional collections worldwide.
Porcelli studied art at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredon (currently, Universidad Nacional de las Artes) and at the Facultad de Artes Plasticas in Rosario. Porcelli was awarded the Prix Estimulo in Buenos Aires and was a silver medalist in the Vanguardia Argentina de Artes Plasticas.
