Laura Partin is a contemporary artist who explores drawing techniques such as pen on paper, watercolor and India ink on canvas, as well as performance (sometimes participatory), installation or video art.
Born in Iasi, Romania in 1986, she studied fine arts and art theory, at the George Enescu University. Between 2012 and 2014, she was a fellow in Fine Arts at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Venice. In 2021, she obtained a PhD in Fine Arts at the Paris 8 University.
Over the years, Laura has tackled subjects such as gender stereotypes, migrant labour and concepts from social psychology such as cognitive dissonance or terror management theory. One of her recent projects, Sfratto/Eviction, shown in Rome in 2020, embodied a video and a series of drawings about the eviction of Roma families from their homes in Romania between 2010 and 2020.
In the context of the pandemic, she became interested in the multimedia/performative potential of contemporary feminist poetry and in the time spent in nature as a form of introspective healing.

Laura is currently developing Glow in the Dark, an immersive installation aiming to illustrate, through various artistic mediums such as drawing, sound, performance, a series of stories about remarkable women in the history of art, who managed to build an artistic career despite countless obstacles.
