Seeking refuge from the political and social instability of his home country, he migrated to the United States. Many of his sculptures reflect the dichotomy between hard exteriors and deeper meanings, likely influenced by his early life experiences in a country riddled with contradictions and strife. Despite this, lugufelo's artwork is characterized by the use of vibrant colors, reflecting his positive outlook on life and his constant search for peace and happiness.
lugufelo is renowned for his unique perspective on geometric shapes and the kinetic movement created by layering forms and shapes. He draws inspiration from the works of Naum Gabo, Pablo Picasso, and Victor Vasarely, and briefly studied under the tutelage of the esteemed maestro, Jesus Rafael Soto. He incorporates these influences into his art, resulting in unique and dynamic pieces.
Currently, lugufelo resides and creates art in Venice, FL. His artwork is featured in private collections across the United States, Mexico, Norway, and Venezuela, as well as public installations and exhibitions worldwide.
