- Biography
Laura Wächter is an illustrator and designer born to a German father and a Spanish mother who grew up in Spain, between small Villages around Málaga and Extremadura's countryside. In 2013 she got her bachelor degree in Fine Arts at the University of Granada. She confesses that the work she feels closest, most fulfilling and proudest of, is the work that comes from a personal urge. In a universe of soft and delicate forms and colours, she shows us a glimpse of the sometimes harsh aspects of life, transforming her pieces into something that can't be separated from personal therapy. From the humbleness of this intimate approach, she translates emotions that she finds difficult to explain with words, into visual forms. From this, a big part of her work acts as a mirror as well as an introspective diagram. When it comes to sharing her work, she always hopes that in some moment or place, these images might be a mirror to others too. - Where are you currently based?
