DA COSTA LOBO
"I transform real landscapes into devastated territories through apocalyptic hyperrealism."
Origins
Born in Madrid in 1994, I am a hyper-realistic painter. My work is characterized by extreme technical precision and the creation of dense, silent atmospheres loaded with mystery.
Although essentially self-taught, I took my first steps in painting guided by Modesto Trigo, who awakened in me a passion for oil and technical rigor.
The vision
My work focuses on abandoned places, uninhabited spaces, and real landscapes transformed into apocalyptic scenarios, where hyperrealism coexists with an emotional vision that distorts reality towards the unsettling and devastated.
Each painting captures a moment suspended between beauty and decay.
The art
Each work is a slow and meticulous process: every piece requires a minimum of eight months of work, and some take over a year of continuous dedication. This investment of time is reflected in the complexity of my textures, my endless layers, and my absolute control of light.
