The Soft Moods of Laura Pin: Exploring the Dreamlike Worlds of Lazybloc
In a world overflowing with noise, Laura Pin's art speaks in a whisper. Through soft-toned digital landscapes and minimalist architecture born from AI, the Argentinian-born, Vienna-based artist invites us into a space of calm reflection. Her project Lazybloc doesn’t just exist—it breathes. What began as a passion for architecture has evolved into a serene visual language she calls “soft moods.” This is a conversation about her story, process, and why creating peace can be just as powerful as making a statement.

Laura grew up in Patagonia but never felt fully Argentinian. With family from Spain and a household full of tango, international music, and films, her worldview was expansive from the start. “My home was filled with The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and tango,” she laughs.
Instead of holding onto national pride, she gravitated toward openness. From consuming Chilean and Uruguayan culture to questioning what “home” really meant, Laura developed an artistic identity that was global, flexible, and curious.
Inspiration That Shifts Like the Seasons
Laura doesn’t cling to one muse. Instead, she moves through phases—obsessed with one artist one month, inspired by a sculptor or a filmmaker the next. Female voices like Lila Downs and Lhasa de Sela shaped her early imagination, while artists like Coco Dávez and David Urbanke later added visual fuel.
What unites all these influences is a love for softness. She’s drawn to muted colors, rounded forms, and art that evokes feeling more than explanation. “I want the emotion to come through the shape,” she says.
Architecture as Her First Language
Long before Lazybloc, Laura was mapping out homes as a kid—literally. “I drew floor plans before I even knew what they were,” she says. Rearranging furniture, critiquing her childhood home, and optimizing space became second nature.
Architecture school formalized that instinct. And while she’s since expanded into AI and digital art, her foundation in structure and space still guides every creation. Her admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright, especially his Fallingwater home, reflects her deep appreciation for how materials and light can influence emotion.
Finding Clarity in Chaos
Laura works across disciplines—photography, illustration, and AI—and her process reflects that variety. “My workflow isn’t linear. It’s messy, nonlinear, but always intentional,” she explains.She compares her creative process to a meme: the plan looks like a straight line, but the reality is twists, turns, and creative detours. Her Instagram serves as a visual diary, with each post marking a moment, a mood, or a breakthrough.
Minimalism as Her Form of Meditation
For Laura, minimalism isn’t just an aesthetic—it’s a necessity. “Too much color or too many shapes overstimulate me. I crave visual peace,” she says. Lazybloc is her response to that craving. The project is filled with serene environments, muted tones, and just a few elements per image. “If I could build my dream architecture with no limits, it would look like this,” she says. Each piece becomes a moment of stillness in a noisy world.
She lives by a quote from Pablo d’Ors, introduced to her by her mentor Coco Dávez: “Emptiness is the ecstasy of opportunity.” For Laura, every empty frame holds potential, not lack.
Teaching, Sharing, and Growing Through Community
When Laura gave her first public talk, she was terrified. “Who would listen to me for 20 minutes?” she wondered. But after the event, people lined up with questions—and one even called her minutes later asking about her next workshop.
Since then, she’s taught across Europe in multiple languages, from universities to museums. “Every group is different, so every workshop is different,” she says. Teaching has helped her grow—not just as an artist, but as a thinker, mentor, and ethical advocate in the AI space.
From Patagonia to Vienna, from childhood floor plans to global presentations, Laura Pin’s journey is about trusting your intuition—even if the path isn’t linear. Her work doesn’t shout. It invites. It listens. It reminds us to slow down.
Thank you to Laura for sharing her world with Plann Magazine. Through Lazybloc and the “soft moods” she creates, she offers a quiet revolution—one peaceful visual at a time.
