巴西画家卢卡斯·阿鲁达 (Lucas·Arruda, b. 1983) 的绘画有着隐晦复杂的冥想式的构图，它们模糊了记忆与想象之间的边界。他画笔下令人回味的风景，更多的是一种精神性的产物，而非特定地点的描绘。如艺术家所说：“将我的作品称为风景的唯一理由是文化性的——观看者只是自动地把我的作品形式联系为一幅风景，尽管没有任何一件画作能溯源到特定的地理位置。有关风景的想法是一种建构，而非一个真实的地方。”
阿鲁达1983 年出生于巴西圣保罗，2009 年获得圣保罗 Faculdade Santa Marcelina 的艺术学士学位。其个展于2021年在巴西阿雷格里港Fundação Iberê Camargo展出，目前在巴西圣保罗São Tomie Ohtake研究所展出，展览将持续到2022年4月17日。2019年，这位艺术家的第一个大型机构个展“沙漠-莫德罗”在德国卡塞尔的弗里德里西亚南展出。他的作品曾在Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo(2021年，2018年，2016年，2014年，2012年，2010年和2009年)举办个展;Éditions巴黎(2018);Pivô， São Paulo (2015);《露露，墨西哥城》(2015);Fredric Snitzer，迈阿密(2012);Centro culture São Paulo (2011);i-20画廊，纽约(2011);713 Arte Contemporáneo，布宜诺斯艾利斯(2010)。
这位艺术家的第一部专著于 2018 年由巴黎 Éditions Cahiers d'Art 出版，由 Fernanda Brenner、Chris Sharp 和 Hans Ulrich Obrist 共同创作。
