Lucia Del Sanchez is an artist and designer from Miami, FL. Through sculpture and painting Sanchez seeks to build a new relationship with her hometown. In collaboration with her father, Oliver Sanchez, she has produced art shows and programming at Swampspace Gallery since 2008. This independent and non-commercial art space engages a wide range of tastes and often functions as an educational resource for the youth. Sanchez studied abroad at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Holland and the European Exchange Academy in Germany. She attended The Cooper Union in New York City and received a B.F.A in Fine Arts. Lucia Del Sanchez is of Cuban and Slovenian descent and traces her story, breaking down its historical narrative with an eye to archeology and the archive. She employs collections, observations, and word play to produce temporal poetics and protracted self portraits.
