Lucero’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in the memories of her childhood visits to the arid highlands of Jalisco, where tales of witches, hidden treasures, and the supernatural unfolded beneath the vast expanse of the Milky Way. These oral traditions, imbued with mystery and wonder, have remained vividly etched in her mind, nurturing a lifelong fascination with the extraordinary that lies hidden within the ordinary. Through her work, she intertwines history and personal recollection, creating a space where the past is not only preserved but also reimagined. Her practice functions as a collector of stories, which, once transformed, are imbued with new vitality. Much like a cabinet of curiosities, her artwork explores a world where the familiar is rendered extraordinary, and the ordinary is infused with magic.
