Born in Faenza, Italy, in 1980, Francesco Lusa’s artistic approach is deeply rooted in the idea of the landscape as a living entity—one that not only surrounds us physically but also connects to our inner emotional and psychological states. His focus on these spaces, both literal and metaphorical, suggests that his work engages the viewer on multiple levels, evoking external beauty and internal reflection. Lusa invites contemplation on the nature of place—how we perceive the world around us and how those perceptions shape our understanding of ourselves. His exploration of landscape as an “inexhaustible source of surprise and wonder” reveals his ability to see familiar environments in new, often transformative ways, uncovering layers of meaning previously unnoticed. In this sense, our interaction with the world is never neutral—objects and spaces are not merely physical entities but vessels of experience, memory, and symbolism, enriching those who engage with them.
Francesco’s experience as a skateboarder has profoundly shaped his understanding of materials, space, light and the potential for interaction with his surroundings. His passion for music and involvement in various countercultural scenes have cultivated an ethical and aesthetic sensibility that permeates much of his work.
Through various mediums, Francesco embarks on a process of inquiry, seeking a deeper understanding of his existence and his connection with the elements that inspire and fascinate him. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
