Basterra's abstract expressionist approach to painting is a response to her environment, nature, and gestural movement. A text-based practice of journaling and communing with nature provides a foundation for her empathy and biophilia.

Always researching her interests, she does not premeditate a composition. She starts working on a painting and thoughts come to her during and after the work is completed. She absorbs her environment and works from an internal subconscious. 

Clarice Lispector, the novelist and painter, opened a new path for Basterra; she made her realize she could find her voice. 

Colour for Basterra is an emotional response related to mood with the intention of self-expression. She is fascinated with the egocentric nature and motives of humankind. Through painting, she searches for what it means to be free. 

Born in Barcelona, Laura Basterra Sanz lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
