Born in 1991 in Wageningen, the Netherlands, Anna Lucia studied Civil Engineering at Delft University of Technology. After a short career as an engineer in Cairo, Egypt, she shifted her focus to her artistic practice in 2021 and currently lives and works in Berlin.
In 2025, she presented her debut solo exhibition at Galerie Met in Berlin. Her work has been shown internationally at venues including Art Basel, Untitled (Miami), Francisco Carolinum (Linz), and Art Basel Miami. She participated in The First 15 Artists launching the MoMA Postcard Project, and her work has been acquired by Spalter Digital. Her notable collaboration Generations translated the Gee's Bend quilts into an algorithm, generating digital quilts that echo the formal language of the originals while remaining unique and surprising in their own right.
Ranging from browser-based animation, generative systems on the block-chain, textile works, and tattoos, Anna Lucia's practice explores the relationship between traditional craft and algorithmic systems. Her mediums include computer code and textile, and always integrates randomness, establishes a mediumistic dialogue between the artist and the computer.
