ABOUT LUCCIA LIGNAN

As a Painter, the Nudes of Luccia Lignan talk to us about sensuality.-Her women demonstrate the ideal "Eternal Woman with Classical Echoes, but under the Modern vision of 21st century Eroticism".-For her The Nude is an art, and expresive form, a cry of freedom, a call to the beauty.-She structures the shapes with rich modellings of color.  Before undertaking any work, she thinks instinctively for days and weeks, creating established rules in her imagination.  An order, balance, and audacity allow her canvas to have the sweetness of the color that flow, with great expressivity, of course, properly orchestrated. Her nudes talk to us about sensuality.  Her women are sensitive and relaxed, they are grateful to be alive, and their gratitude is shown in their body language. -The Portrait, The Still-Life, and The Landscape form the parts of her production, demonstrating her pictorial discipline in The International Contemporary Art Scene. Also in splendid abstractions her mind sees a universe governed by textures and harmonic colors that stimulate the spectator; canvas full of colours, put in our face like a fountain of pure pleasure. All her nudes encompass an air of innocence, despite being very conscious of their charms. Whether they are individual figures or compositions, they take part in design for theatrical sceneries and murals. -As Sculptress, the statuary of Luccia Lignan is a search for the satisfaction and liberty with the forms and colours,whether it be it in the luminosity of her nudes or the attitudes of her characters\\\' faces, depicted or not.-Her work can be anything from small size to composions of monumental character with all passion and splendor.
