The Majestic Occult Art of LUCIANA LUPE VASCONCELOS

Majestic, Twisted, Fragile, Powerful, Magical, Otherworldly, and Haunting are some of the words that come to my mind as I gaze at the unreal paintings of Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos. This self-taught artist creates paintings that are brimming with occult mysteries that will leave you with a grand sense of amazement.  I love her artwork because it’s a perfect balance between the macabre and the supernatural. I feel so honored to be a part of a platform that can turn you on to an artist like Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos. Check out a killer gallery of her sick work below – plus you can peep a thought-provoking interview she did with DisInfo HERE!

DISINFO: Why do you think there is a revival in interest in all thing occult and esoteric in the arts?

It seems to me that western civilization is going through a very disenchanted moment not only in culture but in general. This could help explain the resumption of the interest for anything that might offer a relief from this state of dismay that seems so ubiquitous these days. Occulture and the esoteric offer a different point of view from the one we been having since rationalism and scientificism took over. Of course the occult has been around for a long time, regardless of what mainstream culture makes of it, but now it seems to be one of those times when conditions are just right for a big comeback. And in addition to that there is, of course, the dissatisfaction of young artists with the insipidity of current art trends. Many artists are engaged in creating art that has soul, in opposition to the sterility of traditional contemporary and conceptual art and mass culture. This growing interest in the occult and esoteric is above all a reaction. I see it as a good thing.
