L B Rios

Self-taught sculptor based in London, whose work merges abstract form with raw emotion. Through a process rooted in quick sketches and a nuanced understanding of light, Lino creates sculptural narratives that invite viewers to dwell in questions of identity, memory, and organic transformation.

With a practice deeply rooted in explorations of negative space, light, and form, Lino often reflects on how shifting perspectives in his studio influence the evolving vision behind each piece. The artist frequently begins with quick finger sketches that act as an intuitive springboard into sculptural creation. These initial lines, inspired by everyday sights such as commuters dozing or a patch of light on a building, inform but are never strictly replicated in the final work.


The organic emergence of shape and mood embraces the unexpected intersections of form: how edges meet, dissolve, or evolve into something novel and expressive. This process allows each piece to become a dynamic interplay between material, light, and concept, imbuing the works with profound emotional resonance.
