Biography
Laurent Valera is a multidisciplinary visual artist. He explores many fields of contemporary visual arts: painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video and performance. His curiosity and desires lead him to move his fields of action in order to experiment with new materials and new techniques to always be as close as possible to his feelings and his visions.
Like an archaeologist digging into geological strata, Laurent Valera explores the liquid spaces of water. Water is like a surface that reveals a depth in which we can speculate, like a material to think, to dream, to study, to recreate. Laurent Valera perceives water as the structuring element of life in its form as in its aspirations, carrying and crossing the living for more than three billion years. It is by relying on it that he builds a profusion of proposals that allow him to question life and the living in order to question the functioning of our contemporary societies.
Through his work and his artistic proposals, Laurent Valera continues his understanding of life and the living. He trained in self-induced cognitive trance with Corine Sombrun and her team at the TranceLab Institute in 2022.
His creative journey is a life path leading him to spiritual development.
