Adriana Cabezas Lulkoski

Adriana Cabezas de Lulkoski was born in Mexico City and studied ballet at La Escuela Nacional de Danza de Bellas Artes for 15 years. Simultaneously, she pursued formal art education at several institutions in Mexico. Adriana earned her Bachelor's Degree in Artes Plasticas at the Universidad de San Fernando in Madrid and continued her painting studies at Cercle Artistic de Sant Lluc in Barcelona.
Her earliest artistic influence came from her father, José Cabezas, a fine arts painter from Spain who later became a beloved cartoonist throughout Latin America. Adriana grew up surrounded by creativity, developing a love for both movement and visual storytelling that continues to shape her work today.
She draws deep inspiration from nature and her background in dance. Her artwork often features flowers, birds, horses, and ballerinas—subjects that capture the innocence and expressive grace of life in motion. In recent years, Adriana has turned to using natural stone as the foundation for her mixed media pieces. These stones, shaped over centuries, offer an organic texture and hidden imagery that she brings to the surface through paint and other materials.
When Adriana peers into these ancient stones, she sees faces, figures, and untold stories waiting to be revealed. With her brush and mixed media tools, she unearths their mysteries, creating art that blends folklore, fantasy, and personal memory. Now based in St. Augustine, she channels her homesickness for Mexico and Spain into vibrant depictions of cherished landscapes and characters.
Adriana has won numerous awards in Mexico and Spain and has illustrated children's books, designed murals, and painted custom portraits. She now brings her imagination to St. Augustine’s own layered history, combining its antiquity with her signature flair for whimsy and storytelling.
