Juca Maximo Creates A Feeling Of Intrigue Through His Mixed Media Portraits

Juca Maximo Creates A Feeling Of Intrigue Through His Mixed Media Portraits

An illustrator from Brazil, Juca Maximo is also a plastic artist, designer, and art director.

Contrasting on beige skin tones, his deliberate addition of accents of pop colour strokes deliver to his final mission: creating intrigue in a visual. With various flourishes of aggression coupled with eye-catching colours, the people in Juca’s portraits often seem to be in a world lit differently than ours. Juka Maximo has been acclaimed by various organisations and is the owner of awards such as Bronze in “Art of Humanity” International Gallery of the Arts (Toronto, Canada) and (Absences) Finalist in “Jackson’s JOPP 2018” Jackson’s Painting Prize, (London, England).
