Labyrinth of Abstraction

Press Release

A self-taught artist, Lara Nasr’s lyrical compositions are the expressions of intuitive, raw emotions. Nasr’s melodic lines are the traces of a mood, be it sadness or joy, and are at once deeply personal and universal. Regardless of medium, line and shape come alive in Nasr’s works, forming symphonies of passionate visual sensation. Fiercely rhythmic, Nasr’s works remind us that we are all indeed human, and therefore share in the joys and sorrows of life. Whether working with charcoal, oils or acrylics, Nasr is true to her instinctive feelings. Technique is secondary to the power of Nasr’s range of emotions, from despair to bliss. “I am always developing new techniques that are the product of new ideas which in turn are the product of forever developing and changing feelings to be expressed,” states Nasr. She refuses to limit herself to medium or style, committed instead to exploring the sea of human emotion through any and every technique necessary.

 

Nasr lives and works in her birthplace, Monsif, Byblos, Lebanon.


Artist Statement

My trend in painting is to be true to my feelings and beliefs and not to a certain style or technique. I don’t have a specific technique that I follow in my paintings. I am always developing new techniques that are the product of new ideas which in turn are the product of forever developing and changing feelings to be expressed. Thus, the technique of today may be different than that of yesterday but similar to that of years back. It all depends on the situation and atmosphere of the time in question. Oil and acrylic are the main mediums of my paintings. Fabric and other material sometimes interfere in the composition of the painting. But I remain open to new possibilities, new forms of expression.
