Luz Maria travelled extensively before leaving Peru to live in culturally diverse places such as Europe and Africa, before settling in Switzerland in 2011. The large differences of the places she has lived have enriched her creativity, which is reflected in her flexibility and in the large variation of her expressions and works.

She constantly looks for balanced aesthetics and is fascinated by the object’s process of creation: The transformation of the perfect imaginary picture into an object that becomes part of our material world. With a vision in mind, her creativity uses art, design and its variation as tools to transform imagination into something existing and tangible. This resulted also in an own jewelry collection and designs for textiles and her co-founding a makerspace (fablab-zug.ch).

While she has profound experience in exhibiting her work internationally, she has managed large Art and Cultural Projects, interior design projects, renovation projects and design consultancies in Switzerland, Peru and Mozambique.

Luz Maria was born in Lima, Peru and grew up in Cusco. She graduated as an artist at the “Escuela de Bellas Artes Diego Quispe Tito“ and as interior designer at the higher technical school “SENCICO” in Cusco 2003.

Her networking talent, enthusiasm, inexhaustible creativity and tireless interest to make things “look good” merge perfectly with her chosen career paths. Her formal training in Art and Interior Design enables her to fill the gaps between the two areas; using an artists’ eyes and technical knowledge to create design elements and environments with the aim to make people feel good.

While she continues to create and express herself freely in her art, she also produces art on demand, to make it fit perfectly in a chosen place, for a chosen person; or, she uses her technical skills to renovate buildings to serve different purposes. Finally, she pursues the aim to unleash the creativity of each individual through engagement and empowerment, to serve the final purpose to transform societies from passive consumers to active producers.

 “Our environment is perfect, not reproducible, but can be interpreted. The process of transformation resembles the disclosure of a secret that reveals the artist’s freedom to interpret and imagine the world anew.” Luz Maria Molinari
