Biography

Lora B. was born in 1989 in Bordeaux. Self-taught artist, it is very young that she becomes aware of art and the notion of aestheticism. Her inspiration comes from her numerous travels which were for her the occasion to go to the meeting of new cultures, to sharpen her glance on the world and to seize the colors of the nature.
