“Laura” is an oil on wood artwork which Paolo Borile painted working on the picture of a friend, Laura, a hairdresser. This painting is part of a series of artwork that the artist made on hand-made, wood canvases using an expressive but detailed painting technique. The background is striped to help the foreground figure stand out. The look of the woman is as intense as the colours which the artist used to paint the artwork. Laura is a 66x100cm portrait painted in 2014. It is ready to hang and accompanied with a unique certificate of authenticity.
