Society inside the canvas

Different people share one space. On the canvas, the human figure becomes a way to look at power, presence and how we live together.

A crowd of faces, eyes and figures in black line on white, packed across the canvas, with dashes and dots between them. Sin título. Acrylic on canvas, 253 x 150 cm, 2026. Caracas. Nicolás Lapadula — Sin título

The artist

Nicolás Lapadula

Nico smiling in a studio, wearing headphones, behind a microphone.

Nico smiling in a black cap and a white T-shirt covered in line drawings, in front of his black-and-white wall paintings.

Born in Caracas in 2008, Nicolás works across painting, sculpture and murals

“We are all different, yet we live together in the same space. For me, that space is the canvas, and the humans are my characters.”
