Lucas Arruda

Lucas Arruda (born 1983) is a contemporary Brazilian artist known for his abstract landscape paintings that explore themes of memory, time, and place.

Arruda's works often depict vast, empty landscapes that are stripped of any identifiable landmarks or figures, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the evocative colors and textures of the natural world. His paintings are characterized by their subtle shifts in hue and tone, which create a sense of depth and movement.

Arruda's artistic practice is deeply influenced by his upbringing in the Brazilian countryside, where he developed a strong connection to nature and the rhythms of the landscape. He often works in solitude, immersing himself in the act of painting and allowing his memories and impressions of the natural world to guide his brushstrokes.
