Lucrezia is an Italian sculptress based in Lisbon.
The exploration of human nature has persistently imbued my work, serving as a tool to transform existential thoughts into material form. For the purpose of creating metaphysical places of experience, the body itself and its perception of the world through the senses affects the way an individual relates to their external environment. What we experience is dictated through the body and its response to the information received from the senses. The self, in action, produces the phenomenology of art and evaluates the realms of physical and conceptual space through its practice of creative expression. Phenomena defines the objects known through the senses, rather than by thought or intuition.
Nothing is ever static. All matter is constantly moving. Much like a dancing body, free from all its heaviness. The powerful intrinsic connection between movement and the representation of the human will.
I am interested in exploring the intricate relation between movement and object observation; through drapery and the folds created in the medium of fabrics. There is a common denominator between the anatomical quality of the moving human body and the movements of fabrics when affected by invisible forces of the natural world. Characterized by an incessant yet differentiated chain reaction of movements, forms cannot cease to emanate from each other.
Movement can be considered the purest expression of the individual’s will, as everybody moves differently and consequently in space, representing its own soul to the material world. In my sculptural practice, I explore the symbiotic bond between movement and the embodiment of individual will. Each sculpture becomes a testament to the unique expression of the soul through the body's distinctive movements, as I navigate the phenomenological qualities of the ever-flowing dialogue between matter and spirit.
