Laura Abad

Laura Abad Guerrero – Born and raised in Montevideo, I am now based in Barcelona.

For over 15 years, my journey as a photographer has been about exploring human communication through the deepest layers of beauty. Rooted in my family photo archive, cultivated over 70 years, and guided by an ever-evolving adoption of innovative forms of expression, my work is a dialogue that merges the purest manifestation of nature and the conscious application of cutting-edge technology. In this blend of curiosity, constant learning, and open-mindedness.

Adding a color layer to some of my photos is a form of 'coloring outside the lines' that I started experimenting with in 2017. My initial images blending photography and watercolor were landscapes, inspired by the ever-changing color palette outside my window over the stormy Rio de la Plata.

Recently, I’ve been exploring in the exciting world of AI and Synthography or Artificial Photography, where my lifelong passion for photography and painting merges with my fascination for technology. I'm particularly captivated by the concept that AI art has opened a new territory where technology is no longer just a tool but a medium; and then a partner in creation and part of the narrative.

I'm mostly self-taught and experimental.
