Lucca Colombelli is a Brasilian-American artist currently living and working in Chicago.

 

Beginning with an interest in realism before becoming more heavily influenced by abstract expressionism and post-modern artists; he now seeks a balance. His current work reflects a symbiosis between form and abstract, focusing on direct experiences of nature.

 

Beyond painting, he makes a living as an art instructor in early childhood education, as well as privately teaching, curating events, and doing art consulting for businesses and private homes. Commissions and classes are closed.
