LUCCIA LIGNAN (b.1980 Córdoba, Spain)
Painter and Sculptress
Lives and works in London, United Kingdom
She has painted
portraits from an early age, and an explosion of colour is found in
her first attempts with paintbrushes at the age of nine. She paints
the portrait of her maternal grandmother "Small artwork on
canvas", which she still maintains, (Private Collection). Her
great-grandfather, a French musician, whose family was mostly
composed of theater actors, was an essential influence for Luccia in
that universe of her artistic creation. Her elegant and reliable
work, perhaps showing the legacy of her English
great-great-grandmother. She goes to a painter's studio to receive
private painting's class and finishes her education at The Faculty of
Fine Arts Santa Isabel de Hungria at Seville University.
Her personal imprint
and the beauty of her brush stroke have culminated in designs that
merge the political, avant-garde, and collector communities. She
likes her characters look, observe, rather than being observed. Her
portraits are like the Beautiful Florence, elegant and somewhat
reserved, they are pure simplicity, when you gaze at them, the most
element emotions get back to you.
Luccia Lignan not
only offers a creative panoramic aspect in painting, her artistic
activity includes the cultivation of sculpture as well. Her first
sculpture works show us an admirable irresistible personality, and
her colourist talent in her polychromatic works, woodcarvings or
bronzes.
Her painting and
sculpture are inseparable. The feminine polychromatic woodcarvings
and bronzes, run in paralell and are tied up to her pictorial
creations.
