About Me
Lucas Bononi (b. 1991 | Los Angeles) Is a contemporary painter living and working in New York, NY.
Lucas reflects the sensation of nature through the lens of the modern world in his paintings with nuance
and subtle visual splashes of color and light that tell the story of living in a city while expressing natures
unrepeatable beauty. It is in this way that he invites us to question the relationship between beauty and
chaos, as well as, figuration and abstraction. His participation in leading museums, galleries and press
stretches worldwide.
