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, connections between parallel life cycles, and embracing the principles of stewardship.

She invites her audience to reflect on how these themes of connection show up in their own lives and deepen their personal understanding of human to nature collective healing. By creating a foundation for cultivating a thought process of personal connection with nature, she seeks to inspire broader critiques of exploitative systems inherent in capitalism and promote a perspective that views nature not merely as a resource, but as a living entity deserving of respect.

Artist Bio

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, but around age 24 she started to find 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
