Davis Lisboa

Davis Lisboa (São Paulo, Brazil, 1965) is a visual artist based in Barcelona since 1986. Throughout his career, he has worked across diverse media, including drawing, painting, digital art, and video, exploring the boundaries between applied and fine arts, high and low culture, art and the marketplace, as well as craftsmanship and technology. In addition to his work as an illustrator and painter, Lisboa is the creator of the Davis Museum | The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, an innovative online project that functions both as a work of art in its own right and as a platform for the promotion of international contemporary artists.

This mini-museum, conceived as a conceptual artwork, challenges traditional exhibition conventions by presenting pieces that blur the lines between viewer and artwork, encouraging critical reflection on art accessibility and the democratization of culture. Lisboa has participated in numerous exhibitions and art events of international significance, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the global contemporary art scene.

Davis Lisboa began his education at ETEC Carlos de Campos in São Paulo, Brazil, specializing in Communication Drawing from 1978 to 1982. He continued his art education at Escola Massana, Centre d'Art i Disseny in Barcelona, Spain, focusing on painting from 1987 to 1990. He completed his training at the Facultat de Belles Arts, Universitat de Barcelona, where he studied painting from 1996 to 2008, delving into artistic techniques and theory.
