For Milano MuseoCity 2024, FLA's The Lab space, the museum's area factory dedicated to emerging artists, presents Laura Rota, a Milanese artist who creates abstract and geometric paintings in captivating colours, all rigorously painted with the brush and without the use of masking. A kind of ultra-contemporary stylized mandalas where nothing is left to chance, from the in-depth study of shapes to the harmonious combination of colours.
Years of work as a successful graphic designer have shaped her sense of compositional and chromatic balance, transforming it into a creative need that the artist explores through painting in the "Rotations of Circles" series. 
The works, all composed of several intersecting circles, capture and concentrate the viewer's gaze within the painting, an almost hypnotic invitation to "enter" the work, to alienate oneself from everyday life in order to welcome beauty, harmony and positive emotions.
In homage to MuseoCity's theme of the year, "Worlds in Milan", Laura Rota presents "FREEDOM", a large canvas (170 x170 cm.) painted with the original 8 colours of the Freedom Flag. A gesture of hope, a wish for an end to all forms of discrimination and war, for a more welcoming and harmonious future.
The exhibition is completed by monochromatic canvases in shades of golden bronze and white ivory, a tribute by the artist to the work of Flavio Lucchini and his fashion art.

The painting has been done live during the days of MuseoCity, with a grand finale on Sunday 3 March, when the work was completed.
