ABOUT Laura Messing

Hi, I´m Laura Messing!

Architect, Visual Artist, and Educator.

I began working with biomaterials in 2018, searching for sustainable materials to continue creating art. Along the way, I discovered a world of possibilities to replace pollutants such as plastics, tanned leathers, ceramics, cement, and more.

From that moment on, I understood that sharing this knowledge so that designers, artists, and architects can transform their productions carries, for me, a deep sense of service to the community — in harmony with the environmental crisis we are currently facing.

I deeply enjoy experimenting, discovering new materials, spending hours in the studio, learning every day, trying, making mistakes, starting over, and getting it right.

And of course, sharing everything I’ve learned — and continue to learn — to help biomaterials replace polluting forms of consumption as soon as possible.

More about my carrer...

I have exhibited internationally and developed projects in photography, painting, sculpture, installations, and video — with works centered on the relationship between humans and nature.

I have participated in the South Biennial of Panama, the Lima Photography Biennial, and the Havana Biennial in Cuba, among others.

My work has been recognized by institutions such as the Aerolíneas Argentinas Foundation, the National Museum of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires, the International Art Biennial of Buenos Aires, and the Ministry of Education’s Secretariat of Culture, among others.

In recent years, I have specialized in biomaterials research, development, and education, collaborating with various brands on the creation of sustainable products.
