Lucia Mignosa - Sul catamarano n°1 e n°2

This is a diptych (2 works), each 60x60 cm, for a total height of 60 cm and a length of 120 cm.

Water is the primordial element, the dominant theme, the source of life par excellence, the medium entrusted with the transport of dreams, desires and the most secret impulses. Here the world of the human emerges from the weavings 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 time that flows, among people, under the sun, in the reflection of water..


FORNITE WITHOUT FRAME

The artist Lucia Mignosa, known as Luminisa,

during the classical studies that the 60s demanded, thanks to the imaginative lessons of a history of art professor, I knew and fell in love with that colorful world of beauty to which I have remained faithful and fascinated for life. But only later, finding myself casually holding a creative magazine from that era, experienced as a window into the artistic world, following their guide, 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 anthem to life. The explosion of pleasure in creating, experimenting, and persevering to seek the maximum expression of beauty, pushed me, despite family and work commitments and the difficulties that the 70s promised to a woman, to attend the studies of famous Sicilian masters of art of the time, to learn as much technique and experience as possible, without ever losing that single weekly appointment that made me drive 70 km to reach him. And it is by letting myself be inspired and transported by their excellence that I refine my views and perfect the technique, reaching my expressive splendor in Luminisa, the stage name, 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 that I now express in painting, sculpture and engravings, with a precise mission: to translate into broad visions of play and into moments of meditation and ecstasy a significant reality that has always resided in me.. Strong, bright tones, apparatus for artistic gymnastics, rings in the water, promote the concept of my emotions, bearers of a mischievous and artistic fun of my eternal serene mood..
