Lucia loves to play – with animals, narratives, imagery, humor. She especially enjoys
playing with reality by bending the rules and creating work that however
implausible – at least for a moment – seems ALMOST possible. Work that not
only delights viewers, but asks them to consider their reality.
Through her oil paintings, she morphs everyday human experiences into an
alternate universe where an animal is just as likely as a person to sit down
to some light reading, brush their teeth before bed, or profess their undying
love for another through some grand gesture. Her body of work aims to
simultaneously make light of, and marvel at our uniquely human existence.
A graphic designer by trade and an oil painter by design, they are continually
experimenting with different styles of contemporary realism that balance their
artistic sensibilities, technique, and unique sense of humor. As they evolve, what
remains constant is their respect for the animals that inspire them, and their desire
to bring a smile to the face of every viewer.
