Laetitia Lor started painting when she left private education for the public and chose an art as an option. After three years of classes – consisting of 9 hours of lessons on Arts practices and Art History every week - she secures her baccalaureate. Grappled by Parisian life during the three years that followed as a model, she made the choice not to join the Fine Arts school, but rather to continue a diligent and personal practice, painting in her apartment, without ever showing her work. It was not until her arrival in Reunion Island in 2004 that her first solo exhibit took birth. However, it is her move to Cape Town that allowed her, to make her incursion into a number of galleries in the city. This resulted in the sale of more than 100 canvases in a short amount of time; this happened through permanent representation in six galleries. So debuted her professional career and especially the time of exhibits in France, and Australia. She won, among other prizes, that of the “Plasticien du Puy de Dôme” (plastic artist of Puy de Dôme). It was when she moved to Mauritius that her work took a new path. She enters the private collection of the Commercial Bank of Mauritius and the Barclays Bank. Laetitia validates her course with a validation of her Fine Arts degree - her study
focuses on “games” and on “the self” in contemporary painting (“games” in French is pronounced just like “I”, which means “the self”) - and her research brings about a reassessment as to the continuation of her work.
