Ceramic statuette, 'Wari Legged Sofa'

Sun and moon eclipse into a startled smile in the bellicose style of the Wari people, regarded as brave warriors. Their legendary artistry inspires the colorful "Legged Sofa" series by ceramic artist Lulli Luca. It is a unique celebration of pre-Hispanic Peruvian cultures, as well as of women and their role in the family, art and culture. "I wanted to express the merger of the different eras so antiquity is expressed through the decoration, while the modern era can be seen in the sofa style," explains Luca. "The legs are movable and are meant to identify woman as being ever-present in our lives as a mother, a wife, and the link between the workplace and home. My idea is to convey a sense of intense freedom, that's why the legs can be moved and set in any position to symbolize that women have a mind of their own and can position themselves at will. The sofas also represent my own artistic freedom to create modern designs that are alive with the spirit of the past."

Lulli Luca

Lulli Luca was born September 1, 1956 in Florence, Italy and studied in the School of Fine Arts in Florence. For the past 25 years, he has worked exclusively in the arts, and considers his designs to blend form and color, reflecting his constant quest for new emotions.

Trained in all fine arts techniques, Luca is an accomplished painter. He works mainly in ceramics, however, which he paints by hand and sometimes adorns with lacquer and with 0.950 rating silver.

Young and adventurous, Luca first came to Peru when he was 18 years old. He traveled around the country before returning to Italy to fulfill other obligations. Seven years later, in 1981, he returned to Peru lured by the country's landscape, history, culture, color and of course, its people. Luca's wife is Peruvian. Having faced a diversity of situations over the years, Luca compares his life to that of the phoenix bird. "One of my greatest challenges has been to rise up from nothing, again and again, to achieve my objectives," he explains. One of his dreams was to set up his own workshop where he and his colleagues could express their creativity through unique designs, and he has achieved this.

"Recently my works were exhibited in the Palazzo Strozzi-Firenza (Italy), and one was selected to be sent to Pope John Paul II," he says. "Two are on display in the Peruvian Embassy in China, and some are in galleries in Mexico.

"I'd like to thank you for letting a part of me – my feelings and emotions reflected in each of my designs – become a part of your home."
