My name is Luciana. I am an artist, graphic designer and illustrator from Argentina, based in Sweden since 2010.
I discovered art at the age of 8 and it quickly became a way of living and experiencing life. I hold a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and illustration, and I also studied Set Design for theatre and filming.
From the very beginning, I have used my hands as my primary tool, my personal approach to every project starts with real textures and natural elements, as I still believe that human expressions communicate the most powerful emotions.
I work with a diverse range of materials, including painting, pencils, crayons, ink, sprays, jewellery, flowers, paper and textiles. My works are always heartfelt, lively expressive and colourful and I enjoy the process as much as the final result.
Art is for me a constant exploration and celebration of life’s textures and colours, with the hope to create work that resonates and evokes genuine emotions.
Artworks
This bottle reflects Mexican vibrant culture, incorporating traditional patterns and bold colours that celebrate the region’s rich artistic heritage. It was part of a collection commissioned by a Latin American café in Stockholm, Volca Coffee Roasters, which aimed to gift their customers with artistic pieces that represent their culture.
This collection was a branding project focused on packaging for their new line of wellness beverages. YOU began launching three tea blends, each based on a different adaptogen mushroom: Cordyceps, Reishi, and Lion's Mane. I hand painted the original art for the bottles, illustrating what each mushroom looks like. Additionally, I developed the overall design and handled the copywriting.
These two bottles were made for a couple of friends who were about to be separated for a while. I designed them to symbolise holding each other in a deep hug, to keep their connection alive despite the distance. Each friend took one bottle to their new home, it was a simple gesture to keep their bond close.
This collection was commissioned by the renowned cocktail bar Lucy's Flower Shop, located in Östermalm, Stockholm. The owners wanted a product featuring their logotype to decorate the tables and bar area. It was a success, as customers began purchasing them as souvenirs, bringing a symbolic piece of the bar into their homes. The collaboration started in 2023 and is still ongoing.
