Luro Lucio Romagnuolo

LURO alias Lucio Romagnuolo. I was born and raised in Naples, Italy, where I currently live.
I'm a self-taught artist and I’ve been painting for more than 50 years. I did a lot of artistic research, I explored different styles and topics. Today I’m focusing on the devastating impact that consumerism has on people, on our society, on our world.

More info about me and my works are available on my website .
What I try to express in my paintings is that every individual and what surrounds him is pervaded by a deep uneasiness.
In the tree of life, the consumeristic system is sawing the branch on which the mankind lays.
I think about my paintings like visual poetry that speaks to the heart. By painting the human being with oil and acrylic paint on canvas, I try to visually represent the basic issues of the current society.
I experienced myself the collapse of the great collective ideals and I struggle to surrender to the spread of the wild and dissolute consumerism. Needless to say, in the past decades we had an improvement of the life conditions, a wide material wealth, at the expense of an increased psychological weakness.
Daily, individuals perceive messages that strategically convey ideals of beauty, wealth, status, health ...

I'm a self-taught artist
