Work
Lucianna told us about her journey:
Looking at a painting should be a moving experience.
I have always been struck by the romanticism of finding a painting that lifts you
out of yourself and moves you and holds you purely in the moment, as if the world
has stopped to let you appreciate something entirely new.
In 2002, I embarked on a philosophical Masters degree to explore the nature of the aesthetic experience in its fullest depth. My dissertation, entitled 'Is the aesthetic experience revelatory of an exclusive modality of truth?’ led me to discover Kant’s theory of the sublime, and it is this model that underpins my exploration as an artist. I am drawn to the idea of conveying a deeper sense of truth in a culture that is alienating in its pursuit of endlessly communicating specific ‘messages’.
