Inspired by her painter mother, Lucy Tejada grew up surrounded by art and immediately learned to express herself through painting and drawing. While traveling in Europe, she discovered El Greco and Rembrandt, artists whose lessons she absorbed. Sensual and erotic inspiration abounds in her expressionist style along with poetic figuration. The subjects she portrays, imaginary beings with deep black eyes, inhabit paintings which recall Tejada’s dream world: beautiful, ideal, and inhabited only by women and children.
