Lucia Adverse was born in Brazil in 1967.
“Passionate for art, Lucia Adverse is devoted to the practice of photography, researching on new techniques and living immersed in a magical world of images and representation.
She is focused on contemporary photography of architecture using light and shadows to express her points of view. She also explores new technologies presenting videos and video installations for her exhibitions in Museums and Art institutions.
Lucia Adverse enables us to see within the image by decrypting the existing of communication between light, shadow and thinking.”
“In her expressionist, eclipsing black and white lights she fully restores, completely and in a vibrant manner, all her aura.” (Pascale Lismonde)
When photography is limited to objects placed in front of the camera to be reported, it is a technique. When the darkroom changes to alchemical crucible where images of reality merge into the inner world of the photographer, it becomes an art. This is exactly the dimension where Lucia Adverse projects the most humble objects of her environment. Her eyes know how to capture a shadow, a monochrome strip or a metal rod, to write a poem, to compose a musical suite, to draw a landscape … If I allow myself to define the relation the artist establishes with her camera, I would say she transforms her camera objective into the subjective. (Marc Soleranski)
