World Fine Art Professionals and their Key-Pieces, 242 – Laura Iniesta
Laura Iniesta is a proud representative of Spanish, and more particularly Catalan, Barcelonese art. In het works you see the power and and the energy of the economic capital of Spain. The influences of fellow Barcelonese artist townspeople Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró are visible. But she has her own clear abstract expressionist signature.

But although her work could be described as abstract expressionism, the central axis of her work is the reflection of her concerns and her daily life, she says. “It is the biography of my life. I believe that the artist in his daily search, in his eagerness to understand the world around him and to understand himself, leaves, in this struggle, a testimony that is his work.”

Shanghai
In 2013 she was chosen to create two murals fort he expanded Shanghai campus of the prestigious China-Europe International Business School (CEIBS), a project designed by prize-winning architect I.M. Pei. It was a great experience for her. “I would say that the murals I painted in Shanghai (https://vimeo.com/72799204) marked a before and after both professionally and personally. It was a very comforting artistic experience. In addition, the time I lived in South America had a lot of influence on my work.”
