Fran Lucas Simón

Fran Lucas Simón studied Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and has been residing on the island of Formentera for over 13 years.

The visual language he has been developing is a union of different elements that play with each other within each piece.

He has evolved from a more painting-oriented approach to a rather particular way of constructing images.

His creative process starts with fieldwork, collecting elements through walks in open spaces, followed by workshop work where he uses various painting techniques, such as watercolor painting on paper, which is then cut and assembled with elements collected during fieldwork, found objects, repurposed materials, or natural elements that he dries and treats.

He seeks the poetry in found elements, with an interest in the textures of old woods, stained by use, and rusted metals on which he paints time. He proposes different visual and referential elements.
