Luciano is a Melbourne based arts educator and multidisciplinary artist.
Inspired by his childhood experiences growing up as a first generation child of a migrant family, his artistic practice explores aspects of human nature, the differing experiences of living and the effects of sites of inquiry on identity and community.
Luciano has a deep interest in the embedded history of found, recycled and passed down materials. He seeks to intertwine the stories, symbolism, and memories of these items into new forms, building on the layers of existing materiality.
Luciano is currently working towards the solo show as a result of his remote Artist in Residence with the City of Greater Dandenong. During his residency, Luciano used lace to explore stories of everyday life and the importance of crafts to cultural connection, tradition and entertainment during this period of isolation and social distancing.
Luciano is available for collaborations and commissions.
