TRIBES is a social analysis, a raw portrait of occidental society.   Groups of families and friends set themselves up by the sea equipped to spend a day in the sun. All this, harmoniously juxtaposed, seems like a poem of customs that reveal through humour, colour and tenderness, the profundity of a whole society.   These photos of modern-day beach groups are inspired by the studio portraits of ancient tribes who proudly posed in traditional costumes next to their prized possessions.The sky and the sea become the painted backdrop of the studio and the sand seems as if sprinkled on the floor

Lucía studied Architecture, Photography and Physical Theatre. The study of these three branches of art and her experiences travelling the world has shaped Lucia as the artist she is now. Lucia is an artist whose work has won international prizes. Her style in documentary/art photography has been widely exhibited and published from all over the world. She has developed an approach to documentary photography called by her Antropología Fantástica (a mixture between social science and artistic intervention). She portraits people and cultures with both drama and fantasy elements.
