Lucas Thorik is a Dutch artist who navigates his own path in abstract painting. No fixed style, no set formula - but a constant drive to create and explore. His work comes from motion, from layering, and from a desire for stillness in a world that rarely slows down. He grew up around art, but had to define what it meant for himself. For Lucas, painting isn't a choice - it's how he thinks, how he feels. His works are built layer by layer, often across multiple canvases at once. Every action is a reaction. Something disappears, something stays. There's memory

in it, rhythm, resistance. He paints on the floor using plaster, pigment, spray paint. His work is physical and immediate, but never harsh. 

He's always searching for tension and stillness - and that's what defines him: a constant push and pull between extremes. Everything moves - and everything seeks rest. It's life itself that inspires him. He draws from what he sees, hears, and senses. But that same life overwhelms him, too. Painting is how he navigates it.

The square holds a quiet yet central role in his work. For Lucas, it's more than a shape - it's a foundation. The only form that truly fits. Not as concept, but as structure - the point where everything meets. The square is his essence.

Lucas deliberately avoids the expected. His color use is bold - charged and layered. Nothing is decorative. Everything comes from necessity. His work is abstract, but never detached. You don't need to understand it. You just need to feel it.

Lucas exhibits internationally in various cities and galleries. His paintings don't ask to be explained - they ask

you to stop. To look. To stand still, right in the middle of movement.
