Luca Soldovieri is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. Soldovieri’s labour-intensive practice sources materials that once held significance like personal love letters, family heirlooms, forgotten objects, and even household dust. In returning these materials back to their organic form, Soldovieri is able to pay tribute to the past while fostering new conversations about loss, memory and transformation.
Soldovieri received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University and has exhibited throughout Canada and the United States. She is represented by Olga Korper Gallery.
