Luce Balla (1904-1994) was an Italian painter, eldest daughter of the artist Giacomo Balla.
Luce (Lucia at birth), together with her sister Elica, follows in her father's footsteps in applied arts and painting.
He does not attend school, receiving private tutors at home. Both sisters live almost secluded in the Balla art house in via Oslavia in Rome. Luce's compositional ability in the applied arts is almost exclusively channeled into translating his father's drawings and studies into works of applied art, such as tapestries, carpets, inlays and embroidery. His pictorial production dates back mainly to the second half of the 1930s and the post-World War II period. Elica asserts herself in a more confident and modern way than Luce and participates as a futurist painter in numerous exhibitions under the pseudonym "Ballelica". Through his sisters, Giacomo's fame was amplified over time.
