\"\"Mara De Luca\u2019s<\/a> (b. 1973, Washington D.C.) paintings evoke a sense of atmospheric abstractions that bring to mind dusk, sunsets, and planetary orbs. Throughout her work there is a sense of reflected ambient light. De Luca\u2019s work today extends the celebration of illusionism, romanticism, and the sublime with a deeply informed response to modernist painting.<\/i><\/div>\n

\nDe Luca received an MFA from CalArts, Los Angeles, CA and a\u00a0BA from\u00a0Columbia University, NY. Her work has been displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego and is in prominent collections, including the\u00a0Buck Collection at UC Irvine, JP Morgan Chase, New York; Fidelity, Boston; Alexander Plaza Berlin, Germany; New York Medical College, New York; and the University of Oslo, Norway. She has been reviewed in Artforum, Cultured Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Artweek LA, and others.\u00a0De Luca is a recipient of the 2019 California\u00a0Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists. She has taught Painting at UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Davis and UC Riverside.<\/i><\/div>\n
