“There is a connection to a primitive time inside of me, I can’t explain it, it’s just there… I feel it, in my heart and in my soul. “ Laurel Barbieri
Inspired by nature at its most intense, Laurel Barbieri’s artwork is filled with organic shapes, rich mineral colors, and heavy texture and is collected by private and corporate collectors from around the world. Critics have called it contemporary, primitive, abstract, and “real life.” Her collectors love her work because it captures the essence of the wild and provides more than a visual experience—there is an emotional connection as well. Laurel’s art falls into two general categories, Contemporary Cave Art and Animal Art. Both types of work reflect her deep connection with the natural world and her love of texture and color.
