Lucía's paintings conjure deserted spaces where nature reclaims its dominion, with sprawling botanical tendrils weaving through and disrupting rigid architectural motifs. Her masterful use of oil paint creates atmospheric veils of color, shrouding these scenes in an otherworldly allure.

I find inspiration in the idea of a secret garden, an inaccessible paradise that can be beautiful, mysterious, and somewhat terrifying.

This interplay of sensuality and secrecy invites viewers to peer into realms that are both seductive and unsettling. Through her work, Lucía evokes a poignant tension - a dialogue between yearning and the persistent elusiveness of what lies just beyond reach.

The idea of repetition and difference allows me to find the same place from various perspectives and at different times, enhancing feelings of confusion and rediscovery.
