Meet Lucia DeChino, New Jersey Abstract Painter
Lucia DeChino is a contemporary New Jersey abstract painter based in Somerville, NJ, known for bold color, emotion, and a layered, textured style. She holds a BA and MA from Kean University and studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She taught elementary art for ten years, then built a career in fine jewelry design after studying gemology at GIA. Her designs were featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Time, and Vera Wang chose one of her pieces for a Vogue cover.
Lucia began with figurative and still-life painting, including portraits and dog portraits, and later moved into the modern, non-objective style she paints today, where emotion takes center stage. Her canvases tell stories of movement and depth, and each one invites you to find your own meaning.
What makes her work stand out is a fearless approach to texture, contrast, and layered color. Whether you are an art collector or a first-time buyer, her paintings offer a timeless quality that stays with you.

How Lucia Creates: Emotion on Canvas
Lucia’s process is intuitive and emotion-driven. She often begins with a single color or movement and lets her instincts guide the composition. Layers build on one another, blending light and shadow until the painting takes on a life of its own.
Her works are discovered rather than planned. Each brushstroke becomes a response to the last, which captures the energy of the moment. Her texture adds physical presence, sometimes smooth and flowing, sometimes rough and bold. This balance of control and spontaneity defines her approach to abstract art.
