Each month, Icky Love Art Loft & Gallery features a new artist working in Hawai‘i. All artwork displayed in the gallery will be available for purchase. If you would like a virtual tour or private appointment, please contact us.
Artist, Ana Lucia Gardeazábal
Ana Lucia is an artist based on the beautiful island of Oʻahu. She works primarily with resin to capture the vibrant energy and natural beauty of Hawaiʻi—its lush landscapes, serene beaches, and colorful tropical blooms. Her work reflects the island’s spirit and serves as a love letter to the place she now calls home.
Ana Lucia’s exhibit, “Moments in Bloom: Honoring Nature’s Ephemeral Beauty through Lei, Hibiscus & Hawaiian Skies” will be on display for the entire month of August. Come view the work during opening hours and join us for the artist reception on August 2nd from 11am-2pm.
Moments in Bloom: Honoring Nature’s Ephemeral Beauty through Lei, Hibiscus & Hawaiian Skies
Born and raised in the picturesque city of Oaxaca, Mexico, Ana Lucia embarked on a life-changing adventure in 2014 when she moved an ocean away to live in Hawaiʻi. From the moment she arrived, she was deeply inspired by the island’s breathtaking scenery and the warmth of its people. This profound connection has become the foundation of her artistic journey.
Art has always been a part of Ana Lucia’s life, but it became especially meaningful after the loss of her beloved dog, Romeo. Painting became a way for her to navigate her grief and honor his memory. She began creating pieces that offer comfort, joy, and a sense of peace—just as Romeo did for her.
“When I moved to Hawaiʻi, I had to leave behind all my art supplies and start fresh. That challenge led me to resin, and I instantly fell in love with its unpredictable, flowing nature. Resin taught me to surrender control, to trust the process, and to embrace the unexpected—lessons that continue to shape both my art and my life.”
OPENING RECEPTION: AUGUST 2nd, 11AM-2PM
Join us at the gallery on August 2nd from 11am-2pm where you'll have the opportunity to meet Ana Lucia and gain insight into her artistic journey and process. Light refreshments will be served. This is a free event but RSVP's are appreciated.
