waow Thank you for sharing this 🙏

Lucas Arruda his paintings I crossed by chance when looking at Mendez Wood DM galeria in São Paulo about 7 years ago. Immediately the feeling I got was “this person knows how to paint”… I am myself a painter and I paint both in São Paulo and the south of France… I keep looking around to see what is going on and seeing these small paintings very calm paintings, painted with a mix of contemporary and Dutch 18thCentury…reminded me of a painter I had seen at the Paris Fiac in the mid 1970’s called Armando Morales from Nicaragua 🇳🇮, whose paintings of South American forests with indian natives I immediately liked. I had the feeling this is good. Looks like it is good.
