Luc\u00eda Mara, (Buenos Aires, 1988), began her love of the image and the material representation of people and places through her early passion for film. She majored in film from the Universidad del cine (FUC), Buenos Aires, and subsequently moved to Los Angeles to study film and photography at the University of California (UCLA).<\/p>\n
A decisive move in her career came with her relocation to New York City and the photography courses she took at the International Center of Photography (ICP). Her photographic work has a strong cinematic feeling and one of her main subjects is the city: the fascination with urban life, the streets and its inhabitants and the myriad secrets of the metropolis hidden in plain sight, utilizing photography as a medium to reveal beauty in the most unexpected places and spotlighting the extraordinary in scenes of everyday life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Street photography plays an important role in her work, but there are other paths that she has been exploring as well, both technically and conceptually. She produced a series of photogravures at the studio of master printer Dan Benveniste, in Madrid. She also experiments with collage: both digital photocollages and physical paper cut-ups which further explore the notions of spatial unfolding, already a distinctive trait in her photographic work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She has shown her work in several individual and group exhibitions in Latin America and Europe and at several international Art Fairs including: Art Basel Miami Beach; ARCO Madrid; Arteba, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires Photo; LimaPhoto, Per\u00fa and Este Arte, Punta del Este.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In 2018 the\u00a0Galer\u00eda A\u00edna Nowack, Arte Contempor\u00e1neo<\/i>\u00a0in Madrid, Spain, held a solo exhibition featuring a selection of photographs, photogravures and photocollages by Lucia Mara.<\/span><\/p>\n To coincide with her 2017 solo exhibition Here, There and Everywhere,<\/i> Galer\u00eda Jorge Mara – La Ruche published an acclaimed book with an introductory essay by the distinguished Spanish author Antonio Mu\u00f1oz Molina.<\/p>\n In June 2023 the Galer\u00eda Aina Nowack, Arte Contempor\u00e1neo, in Madrid, Spain, will open a solo exhibition showcasing a selection of Mara\u2019s recent works, coinciding with the opening of the 2023 edition of PhotoEspa\u00f1a.<\/i><\/p>\n Luc\u00eda Mara currently lives and works in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Luc\u00eda Mara, (Buenos Aires, 1988), began her love of the image and the material representation of people and places through her early passion for film.
