Lucho

Lucho’s work stands out for its artistic power, a mixture of nonconformism and self-reflection make up his impressive plastic work. Representative of an art far from the trends of the region that explores the incorporation of urban art in his works and with a figurative plastic that speaks for itself.

A few weeks ago, @elmismolucho ‘s wallet got hacked. He lost all the money he made from selling his NFTs… 2 years worth of work (over 49 ETH). But he chose to stay positive and to keep collaborating with other artists and NFT projects. He didn't lose hope. And he will continue to share his amazing art ! This event made his passion for art even stronger. “NFTs not only saved my art, but also gave me the possibility to help people in need in my small country of Costa Rica, where there is so little support for the arts.” - Lucho

“I think my inspiration comes from everywhere: from the book I am reading, from the news I see on television, from the conversation I hear on a bus, from the people I meet when I ride my motorcycle.” - Lucho

“In 2019, when I resigned from my job, I traveled to South America, where my first great inspiration came from the wonderful people I met, traditions, foods, legends, social issues and stories I heard. From that point on, there is not a day that I didn’t paint - and I am still portraying the inspiration from South America in each of my works.” - Lucho

“I used to skip meals to save money for art supplies so I could go out and make street art. I feel this is the most sincere and rewarding way of creating for me, sharing such a personal expression with all those who pass by the street later and see what you have left there.” - Lucho

“Digital art is a wonderful opportunity to meet those who really appreciate what we do and the opportunities are endless when you consider that borders and location are no longer a limitation. This is without a doubt the future of the artistic economy, and a door to the empowerment of the artist.” - Lucho
