Biography
LUCE’s “modus operandi” (Valencia, 1989) is the constant walking around the city. This is his space for exploration, learning and creation. The city and its periphery is the place of his origins in the field of graffiti. And rooted in this practice is his interest in writing, which extends throughout his work. Words, sentences that appear recurrently in subtle interventions in public spaces, as a repeated trace of his quiet passage, but also as the result of his understanding of the environment that he explores, that he gets to know and that he reflects on. An unhurried and attentive wandering, that never ends and that moves from the path traveled to his studio-office. The city as an incentive and a space for action and compilation with drawing as a response, that other place where ideas and experiences are distilled.
