An Exclusive Interview With Lúcio Carvalho

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 many years, Lúcio felt different, guilty, and confused about why he had such a passion for expressing himself and creating.
