ABOUT

I am an artist living and working in Venezuela, Italy and the US. 

Using my own photographs and illustrations as a starting point, I paint, print and stitch cloth and paper, layering bold lines, brush strokes, graffiti, and raw edges.

One of the biggest attractions I find in this type of work is the physical process of creating texture through the use of stitching or by making hand-drawn marks on the cloth. The rhythm of repetition and variation that ensues induces a meditative, labour intensive state in which pattern and image become both symbolic language and structure. The complexity of each artwork's construction means that a single piece may take many weeks or even months to complete. 

My work has been shown nationally and abroad, in juried exhibitions and galleries, is included in private collections, and is also in print. All work is for sale; commissions and collaborations are welcome. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions by posting a comment or, if you prefer, directly by e-mail: fulvialucianoAT yahooDOTcom

=======================================


2017 to present
After a 3 year-long residency in Venezuela, my current art practice consists of large-scale textile designs and non-representational paintings on paper.

In 2024 I will be completing an artist residency in Italy.
