Lucia Pazzi

To paint I use beeswax and Damar resin. And then I use fire, which shuffles the cards.

I don't plan my paintings, I just make them because the technique I have chosen doesn't require me to know where I want to arrive: in a certain sense, we decide the destination together along the way.

I decide that a painting is finished when, quoting a friend, “I don't know what it is, but I like looking at it”.

Painting is freeing yourself from rational thought, it is embarking on a journey without borders, it is letting yourself be guided by the unpredictable.

To make something of beauty

Born in Verona and raised in Rome, Lucia Pazzi currently resides and works in a mountain village located in the Appennino Modenese.

Always looking to express "something of beauty", professionally she has carried out various creative activities, from craftsmanship to event scenography, also becoming the author of books and conducting courses on the same topics.

In 2018, when free from commitments, she devoted herself entirely to painting with encaustic technique. After spending five years learning basic techniques from a US artist and experimenting with the many potentials of this medium, she developed her own distinctive painting style, predominantly abstract and non-representational.

In 2023, she chose to make her work public for the first time in a personal exhibition, hosted in Italy at the Town Hall of the city of Zola Predosa. Several of her paintings are present in Italian private collections.
