Lucia Simone, born in Perugia in 1986, is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome where she specialised in Painting and Engraving. Simone has won prizes for her emotionally charged works and has exhibited widely in galleries and museum spaces in Italy and abroad.
Often taking the human figure as her subject matter, Simone injects her vibrant canvases with intense personality, creating hypnotic atmospheres which pull the observer in. She succeeds in creating a moment of shared, unguarded intimacy between the viewer and her subjects, which always seem to hover on the invisible line separating dreams from nightmares.
