Mario Bernardi about Laura Erler

Mario Bernardi, in the introductory chapters of the catalogue written for the Exhibition “Contemporary Artists for the Humanism in the Research", writes about Laura Erler's works:

"Her works, created almost exclusively using mixed technique on paper, is an astonishing embrace with a pebbly nature and with water, elements that stand as evidences of a show that has crossed the millenia and is enduring today .

Her figures in some way materialize the charmed dream of the silence,
are definitely many stages - sometimes monumental, sometimes small - where the inert matter extends itself through the refractions the artist, with wisdom, creates.

By admiring these stones the spectator, at first timidly, then
in perfect harmony with the author, enters in a oniric world full of suggestions and without a shadow of doubt, a world that evidences
the authenticity of the artistic strenght of the painter.

The Only, in my opinion, to give us an emotion comparable to the
one that sculptors give us when they create an opus with woods collected along the beach or on the rivers"
