“In the beginning of painting is a struggling soul,
thus painting is a phenomenon of the soul.
The work must redeem a passionate soul.
In a poetic image, the soul states its presence.”
G. Bachelard.
To look at a painting by Lugo is like sifting through an archeological dig, moving through layer upon layer of earth. Barely recognizable forms emerge into a conscious gestalt where meanings galvanize through the viewer’s own personal references and connections.
Jan Kirstein
