Born in 1994, of Italian origin, Luia Corsini grew up between Rome and New York, which forged her fascination with contrasting architectures and the relationships between space, color, and form from a very young age. She studied Fine Arts at NYU in New York, where she deepened her admiration for mid-20th-century artistic movements, especially Color-Field Painting and artists such as Agnes Martin, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, and Donald Judd. After graduating, she lived for a time in Barcelona and later moved to Malibu, California, where she opened her own studio. In 2020, she moved to Mexico City, drawn both by the city's vibrant palette and its modern architecture, particularly influenced by figures such as Luis Barragán. Beginning in the fall of 2020, she developed the Mexico series, which includes abstractions inspired by the works of architects such as Barragán, Ricardo Legorreta, Mathias Goeritz, Juan O'Gorman, Javier Senosiain, and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez. Some pieces from this series were exhibited collectively at the Tamayo Museum and in an exclusive exhibition at Barragán's Casa Pedregal. His artistic practice is characterized by geometric compositions based on grids, blocks of color, and chromatic palettes that evoke both the urban and the natural. Corsini reflects on how architecture, urban maps, coastal nature, and the horizons he has inhabited (Rome, New York, Malibu, Mexico City) emotionally impact the viewer. His style combines structural rigor with chromatic vibrations that speak of memory, perception, and space, reinterpreting modern abstraction with a contemporary gaze heavily influenced by the environments he has adopted.
During her residency at Hotel El Ganzo, Luia Corsini expanded her exploration of color, materiality, and place through textile experimentation. Working with natural dyes and fabric, she developed a series of geometric compositions that translated her architectural language into softer, tactile forms.The residency became an opportunity to engage directly with the colors and textures of Baja—the earth tones, the shifting light, the horizon line between desert and sea—allowing the surrounding landscape to quietly enter the work.At El Ganzo, artistic practices often move beyond the boundaries of their usual mediums, finding new expressions through collaboration, experimentation, and environment. Luia's residency embodied this spirit, transforming fabric, pigment, and geometry into a conversation between architecture and landscape, structure and softness, permanence and change.
