Whether you seek bespoke illustrations for your business or personal ventures, we are here to provide you with top-tier services that not only meet but surpass your expectations.
Laura Cremene's evolution into an experimental mixed media and digital artist has been deeply influenced by her rich multicultural heritage and the intricate mosaic of life experiences she has woven together from living in different countries, her perpetual motion, and her ability to converse in seven distinct language.
Originally trained as a fashion designer in Romania, Belgium, Italy, and the United Kingdom, she now seamlessly divides her time between crafting captivating graphics and continuously delving into the ever-evolving world of experimental art. Laura consistently pushes her creative boundaries by skillfully blending various techniques, fusing thousands of pencil strokes with collage, watercolors, ink, and acrylic.
