Lucia Herrero, Spain, is an art & documentary photographer living and working in Barcelona, whose style is a mixture between social science and artistic intervention. Often referred to by her as “Antropología Fantástica” (“Magical Realism”), Herrero’s unique style combines both documentary and fantastical elements. For each project she searches for new forms of photographic storytelling.
Humor is an important component in her work, as it is the gateway to reach different levels of interpretation in his sociological portraits.
Her subjects are part of the real world and also part of a larger, imaginative world based on collective memory, history, and community. Artist and subject work together to convey in powerful and poetic images, important truths – external, internal and cultural - about the subjects’ lives. Each picture is larger than what meets the eye.
She was trained in architecture, photography and physical theatre. Each discipline plays a role in her photographic work and shapes her vision as an artist.
Her work has been exhibited and published internationally and make assignments stories for publications like Time Magazine.
