Back to EpisodesThe Art of Being Seen: Lucia Jones on Women in Frame
Description
Lucia Jones, a Welsh painter with international exhibitions and prestigious recognitions, discusses how her artwork explores the female experience through memory and identity. Her paintings, which often feature women with obscured eyes, serve as vessels for viewers to project their own experiences, creating connections that evolve with each viewing.
• Supported by women throughout her life, Jones now creates art centered on women's experiences
• Uses cinematic imagery and found photographs to create anonymous female figures that any woman can identify with
• Employs layered painting techniques to create fractured environments that represent memory and emotional states
• Explores performative femininity and the consciousness of being seen through her exhibition "Spectacle"
• Creates paintings that change meaning with repeated viewings, allowing personal interpretation to evolve
• Examines liminal spaces where women exist between their public and private selves
• Uses color symbolically, particularly green tones that can be both isolating and calming
I want my work to be a safe space for women to feel what they're feeling deep down. Art should be for everyone—a space of inclusivity and expression. The key is making work that people can connect with; that's what gives art its validity and purpose.
