The backstory no one asked for.

---

Laura Treand is a contemporary abstract artist (and by artist, we mean a creative mind with a healthy dose of impostor syndrome) born and raised in the south of France. After a long stay in Laguna Beach, California, she fell for the art scene and the unapologetically bright colors of the West Coast. Since then, she’s been on a never-ending quest to find the sweet spot between harmony and chaos—spontaneity being the only rule she actually follows.

Armed with acrylics, markers, gold leaf, and oil pastels (and an ever-growing pile of half-finished canvases), she creates art that brings energy, color, and just the right amount of artistic mayhem. Now based in Copenhagen, she paints, hoards supplies, raises two small humans, and shares her creative space with her imaginary cat, Elvis—who, despite being entirely fictional, has questionnable taste in art.
