Meet Luce Divina

We had the good fortune of connecting with Luce Divina and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Luce Divina, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process behind starting Luce Divina came from the desire to create more than just candles: we wanted to offer unique experiences with giant candles of 50 and 25 lbs, which don’t exist in the market. I noticed a gap for products that combine luxury, sustainability, and an artisanal, spiritual touch. Each candle is designed to evoke emotion, inspire mindfulness, and enhance the ambiance of a space, becoming an exclusive design piece that brings well-being and calm. For me, Luce Divina is the realization of a passion for craftsmanship, innovation, and creating special moments that transform any space.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Our art focuses on creating unique handcrafted candles, combining luxury, sustainability, and a spiritual, mindful approach. What sets us apart is that our candles are not just decorative or aromatic objects; they are sensory experiences that transform spaces and connect with the emotions of those who receive them. Each candle is carefully designed and made, paying close attention to detail and the quality of materials.
We are especially proud of creating a product that didn’t exist in the market: giant candles, 50 and 25 lbs, which combine aesthetics, fragrance, and purpose. This represents the union of traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary, conscious approach.
Our professional journey has not been easy. Starting this type of artisanal business requires patience, constant learning, and resilience. The challenges have been many: from finding reliable suppliers to adjusting artisanal production to premium quality standards while maintaining sustainability. We have overcome them with perseverance, creativity, and the support of our team and families, learning that each obstacle is an opportunity to innovate and improve.
The most important lessons we’ve learned are to value the authenticity of what we create, keep our vision clear, and not be afraid to innovate, even when it seems risky.
We want the world to know that Luce Divina is not just a candle brand, but a proposal of art, well-being, and connection. Each candle tells a story, brings light, calm, and special moments to those who receive it, and reflects the passion and dedication of a truly artisanal process.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were visiting, I would create an itinerary focused on art, luxury, and wellness experiences. We would start by visiting local galleries and artist studios for inspiration, followed by exploring boutiques and exclusive design spaces. To relax, we would spend time at a spa or wellness center, and enjoy dinners at restaurants with sophisticated ambiance and unique culinary offerings. I would also include tranquil evenings with candlelit experiences and sensory moments, connecting with calm and beauty in the surroundings. Each day would be a balance of artistic inspiration, curated luxury, and personal well-being.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give this shoutout to my family and my team, who have been with me from the very beginning, supporting every idea and every step along the way. Every Luce Divina candle reflects not only my passion but also all the love and support I have received from them. Without them, this vision would not be possible.
