Rosana Laiz

My name is Rosana Laiz García and I’m a Spanish architect, interested in art, design, interiors, handmade goods, and all things pretty. I live in La Pola de Gordón, but I’m originally from a tiny village called Los Barrios de Gordón.

All my life I’ve been drawing. When I was little, my favorite things to draw were medieval princesses with cone-shaped hats. As a teenager, the subject changed to fashion sketches, and I filled countless notebooks with them. I’ve always been surrounded by artsy friends and family, which has had a great impact on how I manage my creative process while painting or designing.

My body of work is wide-ranged, diverse, and eclectic. I thrive on variety and can't limit myself to just one medium. When it comes to type-based design, I lean towards minimalism. My approach to watercolors, acrylics, digital paintings, and oil paint is characterized by vibrant colors and bold, expressive strokes. In digital illustrations, I favor a modern aesthetic with solid colors and clean, simple shapes.

Blursbyai is my passion and has been my full-time job since 2013. I hope you like my work as much as I enjoy creating it.

While I have been largely self-taught in art since childhood, I developed my formal skills studying architecture at ETSA de Valladolid. There, I trained in watercolor, charcoal, pencil, and technical drawing. During my studies, my drawing focus shifted to buildings and street views. It was a fun experience, even though the weather was often too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer to sit on the ground sketching for four hours straight! I have great memories of my first year, particularly the foundational classes where I spent time sketching classic Greek and Roman statues using charcoal and pastel pigments.
