NAMASTE DESIGN By Laura Alvarez

From an early age, Laura has had an affinity for art. Being very young, painting palm trees and beach landscapes was more than a hobby. Painting was always her first choice in her childhood. During his university studies time was not enough, but painting became a respite from tranquility and passion. Laura at that time created a small project with great expectations. Namaste Design starts in November 2015 with illustrations on cups, plates, pots and coasters hand-painted designs, making a large part of the public fall in love with her designs. Her designs could be seen in the windows of different stores in her hometown, exceeding expectations and displaying her designs in bazaars, TV shows, illustrating renowned designs by local artists. Her perseverance in creating original and unique designs crossed borders such as Colombia, Spain, Panama and United States. In 2018, she started creating beautiful paintings with abstract art. Inspired by the works of Carlos Cruz-Diez and Mark Rothko, working in impasto style with a variety of acrylic mediums, each work is infused with a boundless energy and joy for life that is 100% pure Laura. Painting for Laura is a meditative process. She uses art as a positive outlet; Focusing on the canvases, she creates works that project happiness on the viewer and on herself. Her paintings have a style of artistic expression that is characterized by subjectivity and spontaneity, layer upon layer of texture and a palette of contrasting, intense colors that reflect soul and happiness
