lucia mignosa - Conversazione in spiaggia

The human shapes blur and blend with the colors of nature on the sea.. The warmth of the yellows, warmed by the sun, fills the scene, making the blues of the sea and sky pale, brushing the skin of the bathers and caressing them gently..

The artist Lucia Mignosa, known as Luminisa,

during the classical studies that the 60s demanded, thanks to the eccentric teachings of a history of art teacher, I knew and fell in love with that colorful world of beauty to which I have remained faithful and fascinated my whole life. But only later, finding by chance in my hands a creative magazine from the era, lived 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 a perpetual search and attempt to express with art enthusiasm and joy as a 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 to a woman, to attend the studios of well-known 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 carried by their excellence that I refine 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 water games and bodies suspended in time in a playful prelude to cheerfulness. A sensibility that today I express in painting, sculpture and engravings, which have a very precise purpose: to translate into wide visions of play and into moments of meditation and ecstasy a meaningful reality that has always resided in me.. Strong, vivid tones, apparatuses of artistic gymnastics, rings in the water, promote the concept of my emotions, carriers of a mischievous and artistic fun of my eternal serene mood..
