About Oana Lauric

While in Paris, she had become acquainted with Arthur Rimbaud’s surrealist poetry full of color, movement and symbols. When introduced to his unique and little-known life story, her interest turned into fascination. Deep, multidimensional, insolent and abundantly colorful, Rimbaud’s poetry and his mysteriously overlapping life story became Oana’s current obsession. There is for sure a self-identifying element to be found along this poet’s path, for her and all those on a life quest.
Over time, she focused more and more on the inner-universe explorations and its diverse re-shaping paths. A collaboration emerged with other experts in the French poet’s oeuvre, united by their love of art. In this context, Oana’s current goal is to create a coherent visual translation, an artist’s own reformulation of the alchemic amalgam born of colluding the verse and the life of Arthur Rimbaud, L’Homme aux Semelles de Vent.
Lauric is a Member of Copley Society of Art in Boston, MA.
Her work was extensively featured in American Art Collector Magazine, World Art News, L’Art du Milieu (Quasart magazine), Words & Images, Boston Globe, Portland Press Herald, Inner Tapestry etc.
