Lucio Salvatore

Lucio Salvatore (born 3 May 1975) is an Italian-born multidisciplinary Brazilian artist who works with sculpture, photography, text, painting, performance and appropriation of processes.

Salvatore lives and works in Rio de Janeiro and in Sant’Elia Fiumerapido, Italy.

Salvatore’s artworks are situations created with heterogeneous elements, processes and people that work together in experimental form.

His work is seen as a critique of both centralized and decentralized powers and its abuses, social control and consumerism in its broadest declination, especially cultural.

Through parodies of scientific methods of classifications and categorizations, Salvatore looks at the common elements that precede rigid definitions of people's identities, the indiscernible nature of the fluid from where any difference comes from, as the artist declares in his interview with Brazilian journalist Jo Soares in 2010.
