Luba Lukova

New York image-maker Luba Lukova is internationally known for her work in graphics for social change. Her work uses an economy of color and clean graphics to create visual metaphors that communicate powerful messages that take seconds to grasp, but resonates deeply.

Her collection of posters, Social Justice 2008, continues to be exhibited world-wide. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as well as many other museums. She regularly is commissioned to do work for such clients as the New York Times, Sony Music, and Harvard University. Lukova was born in Bulgaria and currently lives in Long Island City.
