Bio
Lucia was born in Amsterdam and was raised The Hague/Holland; married and lived for 4 years in El Salvador, then moved with her family to Angola and actually lives in Spain where she formed as a sculptor, especially carving stone.
Travelling the world and the different cultures she met, have left their marks on her life and work and in her choice of her collection of contemporary art.
Her speciality is stone carving, where she enjoys experimenting with straight lines and curves, equilibrium, openings and cavities, and emphasizes asymmetry, in search of contrasts and the inside of the stone.
She is completely aware of the fact that she cannot improve nature. She just wants to add something personal, maintaining at the same time the characteristics of the stone as close as possible to its original state. Respecting the imperfections it may have. She seeks to emphasize the contrast between colors, lines and curves in the surface before and after carving and polishing.
