Lucia Luce

Working across chalk pastels, watercolors, acrylics, and enamels, Lucia Luce is a self-taught artist who paints on paper, canvas, and wood panel. Her style moves from expressionism to abstraction, employing wet-on-wet, glazing, and relief techniques using ceramic pastes, enamels, and metallic pigments. Luce also creates decorative objects with ceramic, glass chips, mirrors, and resin. Known for her use of vivid, contrasting colors, she often focuses on female faces, distilling their forms through bold brushwork to evoke emotion and a sense of fleeting interiority. Her work is characterized by a focus on light, feeling, and the expressive possibilities of her materials.
