At the heart of our team is Lugufelo (Luis Guillermo Fernández Lovera), the founder of Lugufelo.com and the creative force behind the brand. Born in Venezuela and now based in Miami, Lugufelo has dedicated his life to the pursuit of artistic expression through minimalist metal sculpture. Working primarily with aluminum and stainless steel, his pieces explore themes of balance, transformation, and universality, establishing him as a distinctive voice in contemporary art.

As the founder, Lugufelo not only brings his artistic vision but also sets the direction and spirit of our collective mission. His monumental works—such as the iconic “Torso” exhibited at the Venice Art Center and the vibrant “Red Butterfly” donated to Blalock Park—stand as symbols of his commitment to creating art that engages both communities and collectors.

Through Lugufelo.com, he has built more than a platform for showcasing art; he has cultivated a space where creativity, collaboration, and cultural dialogue come together. With his leadership, the team continues to grow, bringing his sculptures into new regions, audiences, and contexts around the world.

We are delighted to highlight Katty Fernández, Lugufelo’s daughter, as an integral member of our team. Based in Los Angeles, California, Katty serves as our Marketing and Sales Representative in the region, bringing both her professional expertise and her lifelong connection to Lugufelo’s work.

Growing up surrounded by her father’s sculptures, Katty developed a profound passion for art and a unique understanding of Lugufelo’s creative vision. This early exposure has shaped her ability to present and represent his work with authenticity, enthusiasm, and insight. Today, she channels this experience into expanding Lugufelo’s presence in the vibrant art scene of Los Angeles and beyond.

Katty’s role bridges art and audience—building connections with collectors, galleries, and institutions while sharing the story of Lugufelo’s minimalist sculptures. Her energy, communication skills, and dedication make her a driving force in broadening the reach of Lugufelo’s art, ensuring that new audiences experience the harmony, balance, and innovation that define his creations.

We are proud to have Katty’s support and vision as part of the team. Her passion and commitment not only strengthen Lugufelo’s presence in California but also help shape the future of his artistic legacy.

His expertise in visual environments allows him to frame, contextualize, and even contrast Lugufelo’s sculptures in ways that highlight their elegance and symbolism.
