Laura Gonzalez
I was born in Argentina, live and work in Buenos Aires. I graduated from Prilidiano Pueyrredón National Art School, as an engraving teacher.
Alfredo De Vicenzo, Matilde Marín and Andrea Juan were my master’s degree teachers.
I express myself through non-toxic engraving technique, photography, videos and site specific.
My work is developed on three pillars: Nature, Body and Inwardness, their interactions and constructions.
During my childhood the chance of living in different habitats, allowed me to forge a very intense and contemplative relation with nature.
Many questions emerge from these encounters, installed in my every piece of work, allowing me to rediscover the interaction between the environment and the human transcendence.
My goal is to understand and express uncertainty, duality, limits and intrusion; from the body in intimate relation with nature and its spiritual meaning.
I have exhibited in competitions and galleries in Argentina, Spain, Italy, Poland, México and Canada.
The light of the breakdown (The Way - 03/2026)
I broke.
And time; time began to flow differently.
Eternal. Uncomfortable.
And the beak kept asking me how, why, what for. It settled in my soul when I felt I” couldn’t”.
Then came the emptiness, but the emptiness that makes room for something new.
I searched for the exact moment of transition. What was that second when everything changes, when I was left without control?
I looked at the fracture again. I saw the line that separated, and imagined it illuminated.
Little by little, it opened wider and wider, filling with light.
Inviting.
Proposing.
To accept my vulnerability in the uncertainty.
To trust in the future I don’t yet know.

Instant (The Way - 03/2026)
There is a threshold, an exact instant between before and after.
The point where everything changes.
Where we feel the inescapable mystery of the future.

DECIDE (The Way - 05/2025)
Stillness and wisdom,
to discover.
To choose what I want.

The voice of the Word (The Way - 03/2024)
I search the words, I separate them and they dislocate,
but they fly and come together again.
They do not obey. They interwine.
As a net it does not divide, it envelops, it makes sense.
It repeats and repeats, it grows.
It runs through me, illuminating holes and corners. It laughs and sings, it regenerates.
ImustIcanIwant ImustIcanIwant ImustIcanIwant
It is written like this, all together.
Imustlove,Icanlove,Iwanttolovemyself.
Imustlaugh,Icanlaugh,Iwanttolaughmyself.
Imusthug,Icanhug,Iwanttohugmyself.
These are my I must, my I can, my I want.
I shed light and created a lifeline.

In order to try (The Way - 03/2024)
They crawl. They drag me.
They weigh. They hurt.
They deceive.
I doubt, I can´t.
I shouldn’t, but …I want to!
Free Legacies (Traces 02-2023)
I carried you here.
It wasn´t enough.
I lifted you high,
Very high.
And, let you down…
Now, I want to dance.
