Flor Lasheras is an Argentine born abstract expressionist artist currently based in Maryland, USA. Her work is shaped by a multicultural life experience between Argentina, France, and the United States, as well as by motherhood, emotion, movement, and personal transformation.
Working primarily with acrylics and mixed media, Lasheras creates layered abstract paintings that combine expressive gestures, texture, and bold color relationships. Her intuitive process often includes brushes, palette knives, spray paint, and direct hand application, allowing emotion and physical movement to guide the composition.
Her paintings have been exhibited in juried and group exhibitions throughout the DMV area, and her work is held in private collections in Argentina, United States, Nigeria and Europe.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work is an emotional translation of experiences that are often difficult to explain with words. Through abstraction, I explore tension, softness, overstimulation, vulnerability, memory, and connection. I am interested in creating paintings that people feel before they fully understand.
I work intuitively and in layers, allowing each mark to respond to the one before it. Some areas are controlled while others are impulsive and physical. I use mainly my hands, brushes, palette knives, spray paint, and found materials to create surfaces that carry movement and energy. I want the paintings to feel alive, as if they are still shifting emotionally even after they are finished.
Color plays a central role in my process. I am drawn to combinations that create both harmony and friction, where calm moments coexist with intensity. My work is influenced by abstract expressionism, but also by everyday emotional experiences, motherhood, migration, identity, and the complexity of the inner world.
Rather than offering a fixed narrative, I want each painting to become a space where viewers can bring their own emotions, memories, and interpretations.
