Luis Lecea Romera

Luis Lecea Romera (Madrid, 1992) is an artist, composer, and researcher based in Amsterdam and Madrid, with a background in architecture and contemporary music. His practice manipulates the sound-space continuum through installations, compositions, and performances. Employing field recording, archival sound, altered objects, and speculative instrument-building, his work investigates the affective and narrative capabilities of vibration and resonance set against bodily, architectural, and landscape contexts. He is the recipient of a fellowship from the “la Caixa” Foundation in support of his doctoral research with the Sound Studies Center (ACPA) of Leiden University.

Recent presentations of his work Arti et Amicitiae (Amsterdam, NL), Sala de Arte Joven (Madrid, ES), CC Can Felipa (Barcelona, ES), Vlaams Cultuurhuis De Brakke Grond (Amsterdam, NL), Matadero (Madrid, ES), SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin, DE), gnration (Braga, PT), Frascati Theater (Amsterdam, NL), Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (Tenerife, ES), and the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, NL), among others. He has been an artist in residence with FIBER Festival (Amsterdam, NL), Semibreve Festival (Braga, PT), Ezprogui (Navarra, ES), and Habitat (Cà de Monti, IT).

Alongside his artistic practice, Lecea Romera has been engaged in education and research as Tutor in the MFA Artificial Times (2023–2025) at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, and as Teaching Assistant in Architectural Design (2018–2019) at the Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).
