Sobre el Artista

LAURA SILVINA COLS Born in Argentina, Buenos Aires on March 7, 1967. Since her childhood and adolescence she channeled her artistic potential through classical, contemporary and modern dance. Her first approach to the plastic arts was with a ceramics workshop where she made works with molds that she then painted and baked. After high school, she studied teaching and psychomotor skills. The latter allowed her to see the body as a tool and to connect with art as a powerful way of expression of the self. In 2002 she started a decorative painting workshop, where she learned different techniques such as patinas, pickling, craquelure, decoupage. This workshop opened the possibility to explore the characteristics of different materials. In 2005 she moved to Montevideo, Uruguay, where she continued training in these techniques until she discovered oil painting, also using gesso textures. This marked her beginning in the world of figurative painting. BIO Two years later he moved again to Asuncion, Paraguay where he decided to give continuity to his artistic development and had the opportunity to train with one of the best painters of the place, the plastic artist Porfirio Bustos. In his workshop he developed more knowledge in drawing and oil painting. Oriented to the inclusion of texture in his works, he began to work in oil with a palette knife. This allowed him to gradually leave figurative art to migrate towards the abstract. Years later, she moved back to Buenos Aires, and was impressed with the works of the plastic artist Gabriela Berrios, because of the colors and textures. She took classes with her for two years, during which she moved towards a more personal style. It was then that she felt that she had to venture into the abstract world, free of structures and preconceived images. That is why she began to take classes with Plastic Artist Marcela Chouza, who introduced her to the world of gestures, colors and free expression. This workshop not only brought her richness as an artist, but also in her work as a Psychomotrician. BIO ARTISTIC TRAINING: *Soledad García Folle decorative painting workshop. Montevideo.
