Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lieuci. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Lieuci, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

Learning the “art of” art always came natural to me. I would always just experiment in art class with what worked well with me. To me there are no rules or set regulations to the craft. It was always just matter of gaining more knowledge and making what I can with what I had. An interesting story about this is during elementary and middle school I would take drawing books and strategically place them in the spine of my class books. So essentially it looked like I was studying history but I was learning anatomy. I learned a lot how to draw figures by reading them and drawing out my own scenes based on the books. I drew on all my school supplies from folders to backpacks. I even drew my classmates from my desk to learn perspective. Through observation and experimentation is essentially how I learned the craft. I would eventually move on to different mediums and expand my studies.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I got into the art industry because it is a pure passion of mine and a god given gift. Being an artist, there are literally no limits to what I can provide in terms of products, service, and works. Knowing about art is one thing but marketing your art is another. That led me to branding myself with the name Lieuci to honor my heritage. So products built on my brand can be readily available with my cross logo that I custom drew to represent myself. Leaving anonymity in my art leaves mystery, and people love mystery. I mainly work in oil now, but can paint in acrylic, gouache, and watercolor as well. Basically there is no limit to the creative works I can provide. Commissioned works are always an option as well. The main things I want people to know about Lieuci is that, like Picasso, I aim to create a immense legacy. My versatility as an artist is unparalleled. Creating paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, prints, textiles, and more will showcase my boundless creativity and passion for art.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

NFT’s are a touchy subject right now. They had a explosive start but many who bought them are sitting at -90% on their investment. Still artists like Damien Hirst and others continue to experiment with them. I myself have as well just to get my feet wet in the category. You can view them on OpenSea and are titled The Portraits II. I believe they are a bit ahead of their time and may gain more traction as the years pass being that everything is becoming digital. But still I will always prefer the natural way of creating art and that can never be replaced or duplicated.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

Art provides a means of expressing oneself creatively, allowing artists to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through art, I can often discover hidden aspects of myself and gain a deeper understanding of my identity and purpose. Art has the power to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and inspire change. When my work resonates with others, it can have a profound impact on their lives, providing comfort, motivation, or a new perspective on the world. Knowing that I can inspire another artist positively validates my dedication and efforts. Also receiving recognition for my talent and hard work, whether through exhibitions or positive feedback from peers and audiences. Lastly, art can endure beyond my lifetime, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. I can take great pride in knowing that my work will live on, impacting and inspiring others long after I am gone.
