Mlaure’s Gallery ~ A Journey Through Art
In this gallery, I have curated a selection of my favorite pieces that reflect various themes and emotions. Each artwork tells a story and captures a moment in time that resonates with my experiences and inspirations as an artist. For example, the painting titled ‘Whispers of the Wind’ was inspired by a serene afternoon in a local park, where the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft glow of sunlight ignited my imagination. Similarly, ‘Ocean’s Embrace‘ captures the vibrant blues and greens of a sunny beach day, illustrating my love for nature and tranquility.
Music plays a vital role in how I create and express my art. I often find that certain melodies inspire the colors and forms I choose to bring to life on the canvas. For example, while working on a piece inspired by springtime, I listened to the uplifting notes of classical compositions that reminded me of blooming flowers and sunny days. The interplay between sound and visual art is fascinating; the rhythm of a song can dictate the flow of brush strokes, creating a harmonious balance between the two mediums.
Furthermore, my creative process is often accompanied by an exploration of different musical genres. From classical to jazz, each genre influences my artistic expressions uniquely. For instance, while painting ‘Jazz Nights,’ the improvisational nature of jazz inspired spontaneous brushwork, resulting in a dynamic and energetic composition. This integration of music into my art-making process enriches the final piece, allowing viewers to feel the syncopation and rhythm of both forms of art.
Seasons have always been a significant influence in my work. The way the colors of nature change and evolve during the seasons is something that I aim to capture in my paintings. For instance, the vibrant reds and oranges of autumn leaves contrast dramatically with the soft pastels of spring blooms. Each brush stroke reflects the joy and renewal that spring brings to life. In ‘Autumn’s Glow,’ I strive to convey the warmth of the season through rich, earthy tones, inviting viewers to experience the beauty of nature’s transitions.
Art has a unique power to connect us with our emotions. As I share my digital pictures, oil paintings, and pastels, I invite you to explore the feelings and stories behind each piece.
Updates will occur regularly,

Using BLOCKX oil colors allows me to achieve a depth and richness that is reminiscent of the great Flemish masters. Their techniques inspire me, and I strive to channel that influence into my work.
My artwork often intertwines with my personal experiences. Each piece not only represents a visual expression but also encapsulates moments from my life. For example, ‘Memories of Childhood‘ draws inspiration from my summers spent in my mother’s garden, where vibrant flowers and their scents sparked my imagination. By sharing these stories, I hope to create a deeper connection with viewers, inviting them to reflect on their own memories and experiences.
The transition from digital images to pastel art is a fascinating process. Each piece is a blend of technology and traditional artistry, showing how modern tools can enhance the creative process.
Genuine and dear friends have asked me to put up some of my digital pictures, oil paintings and digital pastels. Kind of art!
Thank YOU for being a part of my artistic journey. Your engagement fuels my creativity!
Exploring Art Through Different Themes
Art is a reflection of life, and through various themes, I express my thoughts and emotions. From the beauty of nature to the complexities of human experiences, each artwork offers a glimpse into my perspective.
Digital Postcards ~ Capturing Moments ~
fish – fountain – circle – garden – wood – stained glass windows
My digital postcards aim to capture fleeting moments that evoke nostalgia and joy. From serene landscapes to vibrant cityscapes, each image serves as a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.
Flower Meditations ~ Finding Peace in Nature ~
dahlia – hortensia – lily– orchid – dried fowers –
lavender – crocus and daffodils – red roses
Flowers have a calming presence, and through my artwork, I reflect on their beauty and significance. Whether it’s a dahlia’s vibrant petals or a lily’s elegance, each flower carries a story waiting to be told.
Backdrops ~ Setting the scene ~
Backdrops play a crucial role in setting the scene for my artworks. They provide context, atmosphere, and depth, allowing the subjects to shine. For instance, the use of a soft gradient in the background of ‘Serenity‘ enhances the subject’s tranquility, drawing the viewer’s eye and creating a sense of calm. As I continue to explore various backdrop techniques, I aim to further enhance my compositions and tell more compelling stories through my art.

My artistic journey is not only about creating visual art; it also involves an exploration of poetry and storytelling. Often, these written pieces accompany my paintings, providing a narrative that enhances their meaning. Each poem is crafted with care, reflecting the emotions and themes that I strive to convey through my art. This holistic approach to creativity allows for a richer experience for my audience, merging visual and literary art seamlessly.

The materials I use for oil paintings are carefully selected for their quality and richness. The BLOCKX oil colors I prefer are renowned for their vibrancy and consistency, allowing me to achieve various textures and depths in my paintings. The tactile nature of oil painting provides a sensorial experience, enabling the layering of colors to create luminosity and dynamism. Additionally, I often experiment with different surfaces, such as textured canvases or wooden boards, to enhance the overall effect of my art.
The materials used for the paintings are the famous BLOCKX oil colors, handmade according to the recipe of the Flemish masters.
