Born in Bari, Italy, Lucia attended the Academy of Fine Arts, guided by the inspirational works of Leonardo Da Vinci and her arts professors, Labianca and Antonini, among the most famous in France. Soon after, she moved to Boston to finish her studies at the Art Academy of Boston.
In collaboration with local galleries, she planned her first exhibition and sold her first artistic works. In 2010, she opened “Rubini Art,” an art studio and place of education for art lovers of all ages.
The success following the opening of the gallery led to the creation of the “Van Vogue” fashion show in 2014, arousing great interest among people furthest from the art world. The project was born from the idea to merge feminine beauty with the harmony of artistic technique. It was shown in Bari, Italy and also in Boston, MA to rave reviews.
In the spring of 2019, Lucia produced a successful student show at her gallery which attracted the attention of the Italian TV station International and resulted in a special program.
Lucia is also active in the community. You can see her work at Town Day, the Farmers’ Market, and other establishments around Winchester, as well as on two utility boxes on Washington Street that she painted as part of a Winchester Cultural Council program.
