Lucia's mixed media collage work fuses commercial and fine art. Hand drawn sketches are combined with found objects, photography, hand-rendered typography and presented in a thought-provoking photomontage. Inspired by music, Surrealism and the Freudian concept of free association, personal experiences and heartbreak, everyday encounters with objects people and places, the current social and political climate, her montages are spontaneous juxtapositions of unlikely things. She incorporates elements of pop culture; viscera, fashion; graffiti; low brow art; hot rod, skate, street and snowboard culture; and eclectic ephemera into her work. The harmonious commingling of both digital technology and fine art techniques has allowed her to redefine and refine her art.
