Textile, dye & scenography
Luna’s practice sits at the intersection of scenography and visual art, centered on large-scale artisanal dyeing techniques.
What interests her is hidden color—the kind that only appears when you look for it: a layer of earth, woodland after rain, light filtered through leaves.
Luna prepares her baths herself, using pigments that she selects, mixes, and dilutes until she achieves exactly the shade she is looking for. The fabric then soaks for days, sometimes weeks.
She also paints directly on linen or cotton with dye applied like paint, layer after layer, in slow strokes; building surfaces by hand, texture by texture, until the motif emerges.
Her pieces bear the trace of a landscape, of a moment, of a light that she wanted to capture.
She paints directly with dye as ink, layer after layer, through slow gestures—building each surface by hand, texture after texture, until the pattern emerges.
