Bio

Lusiana Morales Febo (b. 1999) is a Puerto Rican tattoo artist, sculptor, and painter based in Savannah, GA. She received an BFA in Painting and an MFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art in Design (SCAD).

Being raised on a tropical island surrounded by nature encouraged her passion for the environment. Lusiana decided to go vegan back in 2018 and this sparked her awareness of environmental problems. This led to an interest in discarded materials and an exploration for materiality. Her recent work centers around her love for plants and connections in nature, concentrating on experimentation and her relationship with the natural environment.

Lusiana attended the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico. While at school for architecture, Lusiana undertook a tattoo apprenticeship in Bayamon, PR. During the apprenticeship, surrounded by artists and the arts community, she decided to move to Savannah GA to pursue fine art and study at SCAD.

Lusiana’s current work discovers the beauty behind sustainable materials and the value of them by exploring the interconnections of the natural world. The materials she uses include foraged branches, fallen leaves, abaca, flax, and cardboard. She processes these raw materials and turns them into fine art pieces reflecting on the concepts of decay and renewal.

Currently, she combines her passion for art, tattooing, and the wellbeing of the environment with her community by continuing showing her work and working as a tattoo artist. She envisions herself returning to her roots in Puerto Rico where she will continue to collaborate with other artists, traveling the world spreading art and continue her studio practice.
