“Randunele” is a name derived from the Romanian word for the bird, swallow. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s short story The Happy Prince, it reflects themes of social inequality, compassion, empathy, and love. Lucia grew up reading this story to her father on nights she couldn’t sleep; her artistry is a dedication to him.

Lucia is a Filipina-Romanian visual artist and journalist, originally from the Philippines, who moved to Romania in 2023 to pursue her ambitions and reconnect with her roots for the first time.

Born with a passion for storytelling, she is self-taught and has been taking photos since she could walk. After dabbling in multiple art forms throughout her life, she discovered her greatest aspiration is to bring them together through directing and filmmaking. She is driven by the reality that there are still so many stories left untold and voices that continue to be silenced or distorted.

Lucia is here to capture your authentic moments, to show the world through her point of view, and to inspire.
