Lucia is a Slovak-born artist who grew up in Brno, Czech Republic and relocated permanently to Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, in 2010. She studied Aesthetics and Cultural Studies at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, and has previously exhibited around Europe in Barcelona, Prague, Brno, Florence and London including the Concrete and Glass Saatchi exhibition in 2008 and now holds regular exhibitions at Colonnade House in Worthing.

 

Her work is not style specific and encompasses abstract and representational painting and drawing with a strong colourist verve and symbolist narrative. It is characterised by her deep respect for nature and her ability to hint at ambiguity and uncertainty, implied narrative and, sometimes, a darkness beneath the surface of light.
 

Growing up under the communism in the former Czechoslovakia has made the theme of freedom, injustice, and peace an important part of her work.
