Collected and Sold: The Exclusive Legacy of Laura Partin
Laura Partin is a visual artist exploring figurative drawing techniques such as pen on paper, watercolor and ink, as well as performance, installation or video art. Born in Iasi, Romania in 1986, she studied fine arts and art theory, at the George Enescu University. Between 2012 and 2014, she was a fellow in Fine Arts at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Venice. In 2021, she obtained a PhD in Fine Arts at the Paris 8 University. Her recent series Mar Adentro deepens her engagement with ecological concerns. Through delicate watercolor and ink drawings, she evokes the disappearance of aquatic biodiversity and the shifting boundaries between myth and reality.
