" Lucia Nicolai is not identified with a certain intellectual, the artist, his artistic personality rather exalts the figure of the archaic 'artifex - creator - where the pleasure comes from sharing the manual labor to create the appearance, even in the presence of the public, surprising in plastic forms. And here arise from construction materials recovery (waste Siporex) plastic flowing forms and dynamic but also as a tribute to eco-sustainability by recycling the primary element...

Lucia lives matter, molding and intagliandola with simple tools, unifying the sphere of sculpture to zero and that impact of the enchanting and magical spirit of aesthetic creation, every work comes from the bottom, then becomes the expression of an adventure of his soul...

Lucia began looking at the stone Siporex, cold and impersonal, almost unpleasant, wants to get something if you grind it, but bring it back to new life and new dignity, advancing cautiously, trying to find out what the stone wants and what hides inside, then if flows the human figure or unconsciously approaches the great Henry Moore sculpture or the Maya, the better...

the artist evokes distant memories of arketipe shapes, curved elements, meandering from the ground surface where the empty forms have the same value of full plastic, that refer to the sensuality of the female world, like a pot that you can never completely empty or fill in forms pre-existing left "open" the interpretation of the observer."
