About

Lucas Console-Verma (b.2002)

Lucas is a painter whose work explores the relationship between past and present through the language of painting. Drawing on the complexity of Old Master compositions and his own photographic material, he constructs imagined scenes that hover between memory, emotion, and abstraction. Using digital tools to manipulate imagery as part of his process, Lucas creates layered oil paintings where the figure flickers in and out of focus, and different visual worlds converge on the canvas.

Born in London, Lucas is a Fine Art graduate from Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. He is currently working from his studio in Surrey.

In 2023, Lucas was awarded the Nancy Balfour Prize and nominated for the Freelands Painting Prize.
