The New Voices for Faces Forgotten
Through Time

The multi-talented Laronz Murray illustrates a uniquely captivating expression that

instantly grasps his audiences’ attention. In his interview with Concrete Rose Magazine,
Laronz describes his preliminary debut as a singer, which led to song writing, poetry, and
eventually painting. He describes his evolution, grounded in writing, as it spreads from his
desire to incorporate a plethora of inspirational sources into his artistry
Approximately three and a half years ago, soon after the birth of his son, Laronz’s
ambition transitioned his creative process from composing poetry inspired by other paintings to producing original pieces. One of the most amazing aspects of his evolution as an

His progressively ambitious sentiment motivates his creativity. Laronz demonstrates
