Lucia is a fine artist specializing in nature surrealism and figurative work, exploring the depiction of the deeper connections between humanity and the natural world. Using vibrant, dreamlike colors in acrylic and oil paints, she evokes her childhood playfulness born from spending time in New England nature and her adult experience and education learning about herbalism, somatic healing and daydreaming of a different lifestyle. Her work delves into themes of emotional growth, nature-based healing, and connections between life patterns reflected between the human experience and nature.

She invites her audience to reflect on how these themes of connection show up in their own lives and cultivate their own understanding of human-to-nature emotional symbiosis. By creating a foundation for cultivating a thought process of personal connection with nature, she hopes to pave a way for bigger-picture critiques of exploitative systems in capitalism, processing eco-grief and to promote a perspective that appreciates nature as not merely as another being rather than just a resource.

My Background

Lucia is a fine artist based in Cambridge, MA who works with acrylic and oil on stretched canvas and wood panels. She focuses on nature surrealism and figurative work to create dreamscapes. She is a self-taught portrait artist of 10 years. She found her true artistic voice through experimentation and self-taught study of landscape painting and color theory to communicate her dreamscapes. 

Her canvases are stretched by hand with ideas coming from meditation, daydreaming and spending time in nature. She uses bright and ethereal colors, with attention to texture to play between surrealism and paint strokes. 

In college she studied Social Thought and Political Economy, which is an interdisciplinary major that encourages students to engage in a critical examination of society and to develop their own capacities for critical reading, writing and thinking. This educational background created a foundation for thinking about how her art is in conversation with today’s struggles with climate change, the effects of colonization, and generational healing
