Luiza Milewicz - Light art
About Luiza Milewicz
Luiza Milewicz is an Australian contemporary light artist, now based in The Netherlands, known for her unique and limited-edition illuminating sculptures. Her journey into the world of light began during her studies at the University of New South Wales Art & Design, where she was introduced to optical fibres and LEDs. After completing her Master of Design in 2005, she explored lighting technologies in wearable accessories, leading to the creation of her first illuminated pieces. From LED resin pendants and luminous metal bags to fiber optics for dance performances, her early work defined a new language for adorning the body with light.
While her initial focus was on the portability of light, her practice evolved into architectural ornamentation, with larger-scale chandelier pieces that combined light and form. By weaving fiber optics, she created sculptures that revealed rhythmic, intelligent lighting. This exploration led to the founding of LM Designs (2010-2013), an artisanal company that specialized in avant-garde sculptural lighting for exhibitions and commissions, all while preserving fine craftsmanship.
Since 2013, Luiza has taught art and design in various settings, while balancing her practice and family life. Her current work delves deeper into the forces of energy, spirit, and matter, inspired by observations in nature and geometry. She explores how these elements shape life and emotions, offering a visual language that celebrates color, pattern, and movement. Her sculptures are simultaneously decorative and functional, crossing the boundaries between art and product design. Each piece becomes an object of beauty, inviting reflection on life’s journey and its mysteries.
