Traditional Artist Interview
First Impressions
Laura Aldofredi
Why life experience is the artist’s truest driving force
What’s your main source of inspiration?
For a long time, I thought I needed specific sources of inspiration to do this job. But now, while I still have strong interests, I don’t believe I need to refer to any of them as inspiration. I’m realising that who I am and the way I live my life are enough to keep me going in the artistic universe, and that alone makes my work authentic.
When working on a project, I’m now thinking, “What’s the added value I can give this subject?” It turns out the life I’ve lived, am now living, and want to live already offer me all the ingredients I could need to answer those questions.
