Through delicate layers of paint, erasure, and revision, Lauda explores disintegration and transformation, leaving behind traces of earlier gestures as quiet evidence of the work’s evolution. The result is an abstract composition that holds the memory of its making.

Laur P’s work imagines new worlds inspired by nature, deep time, and memory, exploring how forms and materials grow, change, and interact. Through a slow, layered process, Laur P shows how life, decay, and transformation shape both the natural world and our understanding of it.
