This month's discovery is none other than Liceoty! Liceoty’s journey into the world of art is a fascinating tale of evolution and passion.

Liceoty grew up in a house filled with creativity, surrounded by the paintings of his grandfather, a talented artist. Immersed in a world of art from an early age, Liceoty practiced replicating Goya’s works on paper, which left a lasting impression on him. As a child, his fascination with art was evident, but it wasn’t until he turned 18 that he ventured into the realm of music and the piano, initially intending to pursue a career in this field. However, it took several years for Liceoty to realize that his true calling was in painting. The moment he tried an iPad with a stylus, he was instantly drawn into the world of digital art.

This pivotal moment marked a significant shift in Liceoty’s artistic direction. He embraced digital painting and began building a career in this innovative field. By connecting with fellow artists on Twitter, Liceoty found a supportive community that helped him refine his skills and advance his career. At the age of 22, he delved into drawing through the study of Rembrandt’s sketches and engravings, mastering techniques such as India ink and charcoal. Alongside his traditional studies, he honed his digital painting skills, starting with simple and naïve artworks that have since evolved significantly.

In the past two years, Liceoty’s work has seen remarkable growth. He is now captivated by painting vibrant environments and landscapes, often reduced to their most intricate details. His paintings are inhabited by a range of characters, from solitary figures to those surrounded by crowds, reflecting the diverse nature of his artistic vision.

Liceoty employs realistic techniques and predominantly uses greenish tones in his work. This approach allows him to explore a wide spectrum of possibilities and achieve a cohesive view of his paintings. The color green, with its myriad shades, helps him bring his artistic vision to life and see the complete picture with clarity.
