Lucía Laurent - XL - Intimidad Geométrica

Lucía Lauren (LILI) is a Cuban artist with a primarily self-taught plastic arts background, graduated in Social Communication from the University of Havana.

Her relationship with images began long before she dedicated herself professionally to painting. Photography constituted her first creative territory: through it she developed a special sensitivity to composition, visual balance, gesture, and the representation of the human figure. Later she ventured for several years into the world of tattooing, a decisive stage for understanding the importance that line, silhouette, simplification of forms, and graphic clarity acquire in her current painting.

Ultimately she found in the plastic arts a space of much wider expression. Painting allowed her to gather those previous experiences and transform them into an intimate and recognizable universe, built mainly through acrylic on canvas.

Lucía Lauren’s work revolves especially around women, nature, flowers, and animals, with a recurring presence of the cat as the silent companion of her protagonists. They are scenes that rarely seek to narrate extraordinary events. On the contrary, the artist seems interested in small moments of calm: a woman holding her cat, a figure surrounded by flowers, a glass of wine, an imagined garden, or simply a moment of contemplation.

Her painting starts from a marked visual synthesis. Lucía eliminates much of the secondary information to retain only what she considers essential. Serene faces, large areas of color, defined outlines, and flat shapes build images that are immediately legible, yet charged with sensitivity.

In her language we find echoes of contemporary illustration and naïve painting, along with decorative references close to Art Deco and Art Nouveau. However, these elements appear reinterpreted from a personal sensitivity that is warmer, more everyday, and feminine.

One of the most interesting aspects of her work is the use of color. Powdery pinks, terracottas, ochres, mustards, and cream tones coexist with deep blacks, blue-green greens, intense reds, and very clean whites. In some compositions the palette is delicate and almost domestic; in others, chromatic contrast takes on a clearly graphic intensity.

The woman occupies the center of practically her entire pictorial universe. She is not represented as a heroic or distant figure, but from a calm, elegant, and introspective femininity. They are figures with serene gazes, slow poses, and restrained gestures. There is glamour, but it is an intimate and silent glamour.

Cats play a particularly interesting role. More than mere decorative elements, they act as symbols of companionship, independence, tenderness, and emotional refuge. In works where woman and animal embrace, the curves of the human body and the shapes of the cat almost fuse, turning the composition into a representation of affection.

Flowers and vegetation fulfill a similar function. They surround the protagonists, appear on their dresses, or are integrated into the backgrounds to the point of sometimes erasing the boundary between figure and nature. In this way, woman, nature, and the animal world end up forming one sensitivity.

In works such as the figure embracing the cat on a red background, Lucía radically reduces the palette to build the image through the contrast between black, white, and red. The stripes of the dress stop being merely a print and become the main compositional resource: they surround both characters and concentrate the entire scene in the embrace gesture. The result conveys protection, intimacy, and silence.

In other pieces, such as the woman seated beside the cat and the glass of wine, the artist develops a composition closer to contemporary design. The terracotta of the dress dialogues with soft pinks, beiges, and blue-green, creating a sophisticated image without feeling cold. The protagonist does not perform any concrete action; she simply exists within her space. Precisely that absence of drama constitutes much of the charm of the work.

Thus, Lucía Lauren develops a painting that appears simple but is carefully constructed. Her language does not depend on ostentatious technical virtuosity but on the ability to reduce a scene to find its essential emotion.

Her universe is feminine, botanical, domestic, and affectionate. It features everyday beauty, the relationship with animals, care, contemplation, and nature as refuge. Her paintings possess a particularly attractive quality: they may appear decorative at first glance, but behind that beauty lies a constant search for harmony, sensitivity, and serenity.

In a contemporary landscape where many images seek to grab attention through excess, Lucía Lauren takes the opposite path: she simplifies. And it is precisely in that simplicity that a large part of the personality of her work resides.

This work in acrylic on canvas exhibits an emotive figurative representation of two men embraced, resolved through a very elegant modernist style with a strong Art Deco influence. The composition is structured through clean white outlines that precisely delineate the anatomy of the characters, whose skin tones intertwine harmoniously in a game of simplified volumes. The background, divided into blocks of flat color that combine pink, blue, yellow, and black nuances, complements the warmth of the central scene without diminishing its protagonism, achieving a piece of notable sensitivity that conveys an atmosphere of tenderness, intimacy, balance, and serenity.
