Drica Lobo

ABOUT DRICA

Brazilian-born and California-based artist Drica Lobo makes modern landscapes, transforming the familiar into a bold, joyful and powerful scenario. Manipulating shapes and feelings through the selection and composition of color. Shifting between traveling and working in her studio, Lobo creates pieces that represent both freedom state of mind and dreamlike. Her paintings and art installations rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

ABOUT HER WORK

Her work captures happiness and vibrant strokes. Drica’s paintings establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, she investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us.


The unique way she explores her acrylic paintings into the canvas in such evolving language; as if colors are feelings, and also possibilities.
