Laprokay

Portrait Gabriella Prokai alias Laprokay

Gabriella Prokai aka Laprokay (1973 in Hungary) lives and works as a freelance artist in Neerach near Zurich. Laprokay has developed a distinctive style for her visual language. Laprokay is inspired by the female figure, its aesthetic form and beauty. Charming postures and expressive looks create a mystical and erotic mood.

Laprokay's sketches are created directly on the canvas. She draws on the already finished, completely rough surface, which she has treated with putty and later covers with several layers of acrylic before the actual work begins. All the figurative subjects are painted in oil. She uses the relief-like surface to create different depths. The arbitrarily placed deep cracks and grooves in the acrylic give the painting more dimension.
