Laura Cid Sagarra (Lleida, 1972). Physician and ergonomist by profession. My creative restlessness resurfaced after the illustration of educational stories for my children. With experimental avidity and self-taught until 2016, when I started training in fine arts and discovered different aesthetic languages. I have predilection for children’s portrait as well as abstract, material and textured works. I perceive art as a free form of expression and transmission of feelings: I speak of my dreams and daily life through it, whether through drawing, painting, sculpture or photography, generating a breath of fresh air that connect my beat emotions with all what surrounds me.
Laura Cid Sagarra (Lleida, 1972). Médico y ergónoma de profesión. Mi inquietud creativa resurgió tras la ilustración de historias educativas para mis hijos. Con avidez experimental y autodidacta hasta 2016, momento en el que comencé formación reglada descubriendo diferentes lenguajes estéticos. Con predilección por el retrato infantil, así como por obras abstractas, matéricas y texturadas. Percibo el arte como una forma libre de expresión y transmisión de sentimientos: hablo de mis sueños y vida cotidiana a través de él, ya sea a través del dibujo, la pintura, la escultura o la fotografía, generando un soplo de aire fresco que conecta mis emociones con todo lo que lo rodea.
