Curriculum Vitae
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 surreal and humorous observations, often of disaster and in various degrees of subtlety.
Beyond painting, he makes a living as an art instructor in early childhood education, as well as privately teaching, curating charity events, and doing art consulting for businesses and private homes. Commissions and classes are closed for winter.
In 2020, Lucca founded Povos, an artist-run gallery, custom works service, art events, and social action organization in Chicago. Povos launched at 2000 N Milwaukee Ave in 2022 and is moving to the West Town Gallery district on Chicago ave come 2023.
