The painter ́s long-term focus has featured the theme of architecture. She draws her inspiration from visiting and living in various European capitals. In her paintings, Lucie captures fragments of urban landscapes that somehow attract her attention. The chosen places then become change into the territory – the demarcated space to define and protect one another from the other individuals just shortly until another territory is chosen. Real presence of the author in various city corners ranges up to the undiscernibly deformed perspective.
