Laura Cid Sagarra (Lleida, 1972) is a physician and ergonomist whose creativity resurfaced after starting to illustrate educational stories for her sons. Laura, who was a self-taught artist, started in 2017 her degree in fine arts discovering different aesthetic languages. She has predilection for children’s portraits as well as abstract, material and textured works. Her projects are only a memory of experiences, feelings and concerns of every moment of her life, printing them on different materials.
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.
