Atelier Laura Vallenes
Der kunst, duft og sanselighet smelter sammen.
Laura Vallenes er kunstner, regissør og duftkurator. I sitt atelier forener hun performancekunst, maleri og duft i et intuitivt og sanselig uttrykk. Hun arbeider med kroppen, fargene og essensielle oljer som materialer – og lar atmosfæren i et rom, en bevegelse, en duft, være startpunktet for alt som oppstår.
Gjennom stedsspesifikke performancer, store malerier og det taktile duftprosjektet LAURA: The PureFume, skaper hun verk som kan ses, høres, føles – og luktes. Hvert element er kuratert for å vekke sansene og minne oss på tilstedeværelsen i det vakre, rå og levende.
Alt handler om forbindelsen – til oss selv, til hverandre, til naturen og til det vi ennå ikke har ord for.
Laura Vallenes embracing Senses and Nature in Art and Life.
Laura Vallenes is a creator who weaves magic through her performances, directing prowess, and a deep appreciation for the sensory experiences that shape our lives. With a career spanning acting, directing, and performance art, Vallenes has consistently pushed boundaries and embraced new avenues of expression. However, it was during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic that she embarked on a transformative journey, leading her to a profound connection with nature, senses, and the art of living.
At the heart of Vallenes' artistic process lies a unique approach - she relies on her senses to craft captivating site-specific performances. The essence and atmosphere of a place inspire her, igniting a creative fire that fuels her entire production. This intuitive connection with her surroundings infuses her work with authenticity and depth, resonating with audiences on a profound level.
When the pandemic forced a pause in traditional performances, Vallenes turned inward and discovered a newfound appreciation for nature's gifts and our sensory experiences. She delved into the world of essential oils, seeking out the purest and most evocative scents. These oils became not just a source of inspiration but also the foundation of her latest venture - LAURA: The PureFume.
Through LAURA, Vallenes channels her passion for nature, art, and wellness into a range of exquisite handmade products. From luxurious soaps crafted with care to purefumes that evoke emotions and memories, every item reflects her commitment to purity and environmental responsibility.
But Vallenes' artistic exploration doesn't end there. Her newfound love for painting has blossomed into a vibrant expression of color and emotion. Working on canvases with bold strokes and a blend of paint and water, she creates captivating visual narratives that mirror the complexity and beauty of life itself.
For Laura Vallenes, this new chapter is not just about launching products; it's about sharing a philosophy of living fully and authentically. Through her art, she invites us to reconnect with our senses, cherish the natural world, and embrace the art of living in its purest form.
