Acrylic painting "Energy XIX - Descent Into Light" (2021) by Juca Maximo

The impressive work of this internationally celebrated artist Juca Maximo from Brazil moves between fascination and disturbance, which deliberately creates inner unrest with his work. «With my art I try to bring inner discomfort, a feeling, something that the person sees and feels that has something else. »He pursues this artistic mission with a remarkable consequence by various media - as a visual artist, sculptor, designer and illustrator. His ability to penetrate under the surface and expose hidden dimensions have brought him worldwide recognition. In 2018, Lürzer's Archive was the third best illustrator in the world. His works, which are considered in over 20 countries, are characterized by an unmistakable visual language that attracts and challenges the audience at the same time. The Gallery Award of the Art Revolution Taipei, which he received in 2019, 2021 and 2023, testifies to its ongoing relevance.
