Later in his series "Symbols" Laurent experimented with ways to express his inner vision, using acrylics, oils, gold leaves, exotic fabrics and glass panels.
On moving to Australia with his family in 1994, Laurent was overwhelmed by the beauty and strength of the land. The colours of the landscapes gave him new inspiration and his series "Golden Men" shows how this country can arouse one's spirituality. The dark terracottas and yellows are directly inspired by the Australian soil, much celebrated in Australian indigenous art.
Slowly Laurent evolved to a softer vision of his Golden Men and started painting from "The Other Side of the World", this is of course what Australia represents to him and also what can be found inside our minds and souls.
His latest series "Senses of Oz" combines his visions of the country with his profound love for nature. Full of joy and still reflecting issues of the environment, Laurent's new paintings make us appreciate the perfect beauty of this land he calls "his sanctuary", the place where all is possible and where we can live freely our spirituality.
Laurent uses acrylics to create multi-layered rich and deep colours: dark reds for passion and strength, vibrant blues for calm and peace, yellows for joy and touches of gold as a universal symbol of spiritual consciousness.
"I believe it is up to all of us to create the world we live in and by understanding the beauty within ourselves we will understand the beauty that surrounds us". Laurent wishes everyone could travel into his paintings, feel the desert burning and the bushes drying, celebrate the rain, fly over immaculate skies, walk on the immense beaches, taste the wilderness of the sea and, above all, sense the incredible power of the land itself.
