Lucía’s approach to reality is marked by her studies in Physical Sciences. During those six years – and five more working in this field – the description of reality is never absolute, but depends on the place from which one looks at it, which has to be explicit and known.
In the need to delve deeper into this thought from another place, and with the intuition – arising from self-taught practice – that photography represents that place, he consolidates his approach to the medium by training at the EFTI school in 2014, to devote himself exclusively to it from 2015 onwards. He understands photography as an immense metaphor for the construction of one’s own reality and identity, but recognises this medium as a powerful agent in the construction of the collective narrative: it is on the threshold between these two concepts where his work develops.
Her practice explores memory-space-expectations relationships through research in singular spaces and works. Particularly interested in the objectual condition of photography -beyond the image-, her expression develops between photography, installation and site-specific intervention.
As a declaration of intentions, his project Todo es Verdad (2024) and his work Ventana Mediata (2023), recently finalist for the Enaire Foundation Photography Prize, are worth mentioning. Also his exhibition Lugar, Umbral, which received a special mention from the PhotoEspaña jury in 2022 for ‘the coherence of the installation and its enquiry into the material and the photographic object beyond the image’.
At a time when wide-ranging gazes are disabled and the image largely replaces reality, her projects are aimed at activating circuits of critical thought, at observing and questioning how we relate to our convictions. For Lucía, as in physics, relativity is part of what is certain.
She regularly participates in solo and group exhibitions, and in fairs such as PhotoEspaña, Estampa, Art Madrid and Hybrid Art Fair. He collaborates with institutions such as the ILE -Institución Libre de Enseñanza- or CERN -European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva- and private entities such as Acciona; and his work forms part of different collections, such as the Oliva Arauna Collection and the Belén Poole Collection. He currently combines his artistic activity with commissions for architectural studios and teaching.
