Renata Lucas

Brazilian visual artist, lives and works between the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Renata Lucas’s practice is focused on temporary interventions into built environments, pushing the boundaries of architectural and urban space, questioning about how the daily life and social behavior are affected by the spaces that surround us.
