Between the search for beauty, excess of aesthetics and authentic creation, the works of Laure Durivage burst into multicolored canvases. As a child, drawn to pop culture and discovering her talent, Laure had fun drawing cartoons and sassy, colorful young girls. She dabbled in photography in her early teens, armed at first with a simple disposable camera, eventually undertaking studies of snowy contrasts and textures, making the most of the nature that surrounds her.
