BIOGRAPHY
Lucas Cristino is a Brazilian painter whose work explores identity, perception, and the shifting boundaries of reality. Through vibrant, introspective portraits, he investigates how presence changes with perspective—how multiple versions of the self can coexist, overlap, and dissolve.
Drawing inspiration from quantum physics, philosophy, and lived experience, Cristino’s paintings often depict figures suspended between inner and outer worlds, framed by windows, mirrors, or fragments of text. His use of color, light, and texture blurs the line between what is seen and what is felt, transforming portraiture into a meditation on consciousness and existence.
Rooted in his Brazilian heritage and shaped by his life in New York City, Cristino’s art bridges science and spirit, the personal and the universal—the street and the sublime.
