Even though he is in love with Sao Paulo, Lobo lived many years out of his home
town. The experience of knowing different places and, integrating yourself to them expands
your mind to new perspectives. The diversity of situations the artist was exposed to, helped
to develop one of his main characteristics: versatility. Lobo experimented with many painting
techniques and different materials, as well as sculpting and interior design.
He is a great admirer of the art of Burton Morris, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring,
Peter Max, Roy Lichtenstein and Jackson Pollock. In the past few years, Lobaos style
naturally evolved into Pop Art. I believe that even being a part of a well defined
classification of style, an artist can transmit much of his personality and state of being to
his art, making it unique. Even though Lobo has been a publicist since the 90s and worked in
marketing agencies, he never thought about exploring his art commercially. But, after painting
for a few friends, the demand for his art grew. Today, Lobo has sold over 500 paintings in
Brazil and in other countries such as Argentina, United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy and
Uruguay. Art is universal. It crosses borders, doesn't matter its origin. It is like music and
cinema, where I get my inspiration from, it has power to transmit messages to other
places.
