Lucas was born on 25 April 1986 in Varginha, a town in the Federal State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Born without arms, he learned from an early age to accomplish almost everything with his feet. Lucas attended a regular school, where his interest in drawing first began. He soon discovered how to write and draw by holding a pen between his toes - an achievement that brought him immense joy and opened the door to a lifelong passion for art.

Alongside his studies, Lucas nurtured his artistic curiosity, often joining a childhood friend who was a designer for drawing lessons. At the age of 14, he began to paint seriously, dedicating himself to developing his unique artistic talent.

Today, Lucas enjoys painting landscapes in oils and continues to refine his skills under the guidance of Simone Giraldelli, a renowned teacher in the field of foot painting. His dedication has led to numerous solo exhibitions and participation in group shows, where his work has been widely admired. In addition to his art, Lucas studied law and is currently preparing for a position within a public institution.
