The project consists of luminous art objects made from colored and clear glass using the classic Tiffany stained glass technique. It explores different combinations — in patterns, colors, and forms — allowing each object to take on a unique visual identity.

 

At present, two art objects have been created.

· combination of ·

· intense and saturated with minimalistic and laconic

· eccentric with balanced

· richness of ornaments and colors with calmness and airiness in space

The name reflects the core idea of the project, combining two contrasting concepts: the Spanish loca, meaning “crazy” or “insane,” and the English laconic, meaning “concise” or “succinct.” Similar in sound and pronunciation but completely different in meaning, these notions are merged in the project in a modified form, emphasizing the angular, graphic nature of the objects and conveying their underlying concept.

The inspiration for this project came from a desire to reinterpret classic stained glass lamps in a modern and relevant way. These traditional lamps are often overloaded with color and bulky elements; the project aims to lighten their design and make it more airy, while still preserving the richness of their color palette.
