Born in 1984 in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, Lucia Duque is a Spanish artist currently based in Clinton, Mississippi.

At the age of four, her family moved to Spain, fleeing the violence that affected Colombia in the 1980s. Her artistic style is a fusion of Latin American and European influences, blending vibrant colors, expressive forms, and deep symbolism.

Lucia specialized in mural painting at La Palma School of Art in Madrid and completed her studies at the Sevilla School of Art.

Throughout her career, she has explored various techniques, focusing on acrylic and watercolor to adapt her approach to different themes.

Migration, identity, and human resilience are central to her work, allowing her to tell both personal and collective stories through art. With decades of experience in painting, teaching, and community engagement, Lucia is passionate about collaborative art.Additionally, she has taught painting in schools, after-school programs, and workshops for underprivileged children, believing in the power of art as a tool for education and empowerment.

Her paintings have been exhibited in Spain and the U.S., including solo exhibitions from her Saastah collection at the Osuna Museum in Seville, the Diputación de Málaga, and Espacio Pozas in Madrid; the exhibition Making Neighborhood at the Conde Duque Center in Madrid; as well as shows in California, Indianapolis, and Pacesetter Gallery in Mississippi. Her work Leap of Faith was exhibited in 2021 at the Art Party in the Mississippi Museum of Art. Her most recent mural is located at 201 Clinton Boulevard, MS.

Her latest solo show, The Nomad’s Journey, was presented at the Arts Center of Mississippi in April 2025.

Beyond her personal practice, she has coordinated cultural initiatives such as Welcome Donostia in San Sebastián, Spain, along with various art events and community projects. Through her work, she continues to explore universal themes, using art to bridge cultures, foster dialogue, and inspire meaningful connections.
