Voices
"Laetitia is highly intelligent, hot as hell and totally crazy"
(Chris Redstar)
"Mrs Mantis is capable to show that the color black comes in many shades. Her artworks are often repulsive, yet fascinating and display images that shouldn't exist. Some of the paintings made me feel guilty to watch, although they aren't apparently graphic or extreme. It's a crepuscular and imaginative way to redefine the word INTENSE."
(Marco Deplano)
"Laetitia creates her own good fortune wherever she treads and if you happen to be in her company and favour, you too will find your own steps more propitious; possibilities will multiply, chance will become more amenable"
(Stalin Caceres)
