LAIA Interview:
My name is Laia I am from Barcelona Spain.
The piece I have painted in the hotel doesn’t really have a name or a title.
I don’t like adding names or giving titles to my work.
I simply enjoy painting and leaving it there.
I love thinking about the feeling it will create in people when they see it.
I have always loved travelling. Since I was young, my parents took me to many places.
And since I started painting, I have been able to do both things. It’s what truly makes me happiest, seeing the world, experiencing different cultures and painting in every place I go.
