Lares

Lares Torcates (b. 2004) is a Venezuelan painter based in Miami and Savannah. They specialize in acrylic painting and is working towards a bachelor’s degree in Painting and Business Management at Savannah College of Art and Design.

Motivated by their occurrences about life experiences, Lares combines different aspects of themselves in absurd schemes with realistic elements. They use their paintings as a reflection of their inner monologue; inspired by sexuality, gender, childhood experiences, and made-up universes. In a way, shattering any idea of accurate depictions of reality. Which is achieved by combining high realism self-portraiture with unrealistic hypothetical scenarios.
