Lucia Mignosa - Sott'acqua

The water above us, the greens and blues that mingle with the movements, enchant the destiny of the bather who dives in nude to discover the senses in contact with nature.

Sent without a frame and without a stretcher.

The artist Lucia Mignosa, aka Luminisa,

during the classical studies that the 60s imposed, thanks to the imaginative teachings of a history of art professor, I knew and fell in love with that world of colorful beauty to which I have remained faithful and fascinated for life. But only subsequently, finding by chance in my hands a creative magazine from that 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 interior/object design, in the 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 renowned Sicilian masters of the era, to learn as much technique and experience as possible, without ever losing that one 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 takes shape in the extreme representation of games in water and bodies suspended in time in a fun prelude to cheerfulness. A sensibility, which today I express in painting, sculpture and engravings, that have a very precise task: to translate into wide visions of play and moments of meditation and ecstasy a meaningful reality that has always dwelt in me.. Decisive tones, bright accents, gymnastics apparatus, rings in the water, promote the concept of my emotions, bearers of a playful, accomplice and artistic mood of my eternal serene temper..
