lucia mignosa - Giochi nell'acqua

Water is the primordial element, the dominant theme, the ultimate source of life, the medium to which one entrusts the transport of dreams, desires, and the most secret impulses. Here the world of the human emerges from the threads of a strong, exuberant physicality, with the study of the figure immersed in water; from this, the Collection is born, perceived with an undefined touch that referred its definition to the passing time, among people, under the sun, in the reflection of the water.

The artist Lucia Mignosa, professionally known as Luminisa,

during the classical studies that the 60s insisted upon, thanks to the exuberant teachings of a art history professor, I knew and fell in love with that colorful world of beauty to which I remained faithful and fascinated for life. But only later, finding by chance in my hands a creative magazine of the era, lived as a window into the artistic world, following their guidance, I began to create objects to admire, ranging from art, to fashion, to objects, in the perpetual search and attempt to express with art enthusiasm and joy as an hymn to life. The explosion of pleasure in creating, experimenting, and persevering in seeking the maximum expression of beauty pushed me, despite family and work commitments and the difficulties that the 70s promised a woman, to attend the studies of renowned Sicilian art masters of the time, to learn as much technique and experience as possible, without ever losing that one weekly meeting that made me travel 70 km to reach it. And it is by letting myself be inspired and carried away by their excellence that I hone my views and perfect the technique, reaching my expressive splendor in Luminisa, stage name, of a life dedicated to the playful world of cheerfulness, freshness and brightness that is realized in the extreme representation of games in water and bodies suspended in time in a playful preamble to joy. A sensitivity, which today I express in painting, sculpture, and engravings, that have a precise task: to translate into broad visions of play and moments of meditation and ecstasy a meaningful reality that has always inhabited me.. Strong, bright tones, gymnastic apparatus, circles in the water, promote the concept of my emotions, carriers of a playful, cunning, and artistic mood of my eternal serene temperament.
