Thiago Lucas

By LatAm ARTE

He was born on October 20, 1987 in Brazil. Thiago Lucas is from Pernambuco but was born in Recife. He is a historian graduated from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and has a postgraduate degree in History of the Northeast from the Catholic University of Pernambuco (UNICAP). During this period he developed research on the caricature as a critical discourse on the "drought industry" in the Northeast of Brazil. His interest in caricatures was born at the age of 14 when he began to follow the cartoons published in Pernambuco newspapers. For him, interpreting the world through graphic humor is a form of resistance and commitment to such an unequal and exclusive world. Since then, he specialized in the field of image representation and developed some professional works for the newspaper "Folha" of Pernambuco during the period from 2009 to 2015, working as a cartoonist and illustrator, and currently works for the "Jornal System" do Commerce of Communications (PE). He has been involved in various publications, magazines, websites, newspapers, and textbooks. He has also been awarded in various humor shows in Brazil and abroad, in addition to having participated in various exhibitions and catalogs of graphic arts throughout the world.
