About the Artwork

Acrylic on canvas, 2021 "DIGITAL NATURE is an interdisciplinary research that aims to rethink digital tools in the context of social isolation. Landscape painting is used as a result medium. The process starts with walking trough natural areas of the planet using Street view of online maps, in search of landscape images, captured as screenshots and then painted. Digital hiking simulates the 3D experience of place and landscape is presented as a stimulating experience of nature. Although the urge to search for natural images online came from our restricted movement situation, we found comfort in this window-like access to nature, and a ludic connection to video games and futuristic representations. The result is a series of paintings that aim to break the prejudice against the use of the digital. This images still include some of the symbols and marks of online maps, integrated in the nature scenes, paying tribute to their origin."

About the Artist

Joana Lucas is a Portuguese visual artist living in Berlin. She creates photorealistic paintings that depict images of fractured daily life in urban environments. Her paintings show the fascination and power of the uncanny and strange through images that play with beauty, social media and classical aesthetics as a means to touch the viewer. She comprehends her surroundings through images and uses them as a code to interpret and communicate information. The scope of her methodology revolves around the relationship between photography and painting, as a way to frame an exact moment in life and trace the human passage. She graduated in Fine Arts from the Faculdade de Belas Artes de Lisboa, University of Lisbon, in 2003. In the same year she received a scholarship to attend the Statens kunstakademi in Oslo. In 2004, she studied advanced photography at the Portuguese Association of Photographic Art in Lisbon. In 2005 she received a scholarship for an internship at Kreuzberger Musikalische Aktion, Berlin. Since then she lives and works in Berlin. Her work has been shown regularly and in several international exhibitions since 2001.
