“My work is based on memories and the fragile mechanisms we deploy to protect ourselves. Often times, we’re aware that the sense of safety or wellbeing is just an illusion, but it helps us carry on.” - Lucio Carvahlo
"Lúcio Carvalho's art is inspired by scenography as well as Baroque, Rococo and Renaissance era.
Carvalho has been drawn to art for his entire life; as a child, he would find refuge under a huge banquet table, where he would spend his time drawing and coloring, exhibiting his prized possession for his eyes only. For a very long time, Lúcio felt different, guilty, and confused as to why he had such a passion for expressing himself and creating.
Paralyzed by the fear of not owning a living, he waited before deciding to follow his passion and make a living as an artist." - Art Market Magazine
With an incredibly emotional, high technique, and full of passion for art, Carvalho is a rising star of the contemporary art market. We will be displaying some of his most significant artworks at Art Palm Beach in January 2024.
