Paulo Luz, a self-taught artist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now based in South Florida, began his artistic journey at a young age. He worked as an illustrator, designer, and Art Director for Globo, Brazil’s National Television Station, before transitioning to fine art. Establishing studios in New York and Florida, he created portraits, murals, and award-winning works.
His symbolic realism style blends lifelike detail with profound metaphorical meaning, crafting thought provoking pieces that tell compelling stories. Paulo’s portraits go beyond replicating photographs— they combine refined technique and talent to capture the likeness, personality, and essence of each subject. Inspired by life, creativity, and individuality, his art is featured in collections and spaces worldwide.
