Born in Lima, Peru, in 1949, Alma Laura moved to London at the young age of 19. In her early 20s, she took up her current painting practice. 

 

Alma Laura observes the world through her unique lens, which allows her to explore her own identity alongside themes of sexuality, race, the feminine, the body, the family, the imagined and the current. In her colour-filled works, Alma Laura distils memories and snapshots of life's moments and experiences, capturing human connection mixed with elements of nostalgia.

​

Alma Laura has had solo exhibitions in Lima and London, and her works are included in private collections in Latin America, the US and Europe.​
