Queen of Diamonds

Hailing from South Africa, Lucia Laubscher is a versatile artist currently residing in New Zealand. She is a self-taught artist, creative thinker and arts practitioner for over 20 years. Her work is diverse, encompassing large-scale murals to smaller canvases, photography and digital art. Her murals can be seen all over Auckland, including one of Auckland's Transport trains, where one of her designs was successful to make a train wrap, helping to spread messages of train safety. Lucia loves learning new creative skills and incorporating them into her arts practice. She loves experimenting with different mediums and is continually learning new skills to expand her own creative endeavours and loves the process of creating. Her most popular creations are imbued with symbolic narratives, reflecting her inherent talent for storytelling. Drawing inspiration from her environment, whether the local community or the natural vistas, Lucia crafts vibrant and colourful artworks that blend her African heritage with the diverse cultural influences of Aotearoa, seamlessly merging patterns and motifs from indigenous cultures with native flora and fauna. Lucia's artistic mission revolves around fostering cultural connections, focusing on shared human experiences over differences. When Lucia is not immersed in her art, she enjoys being a wife and mum, raising four daughters, savouring a glass of wine, preparing delectable meals for her dear ones, or getting lost in the pages of captivating literature.
