My name is Lopes, from Vancouver, BC and born in Cape Verde Island.

From six years of age to 14 years old, I studied under a world-renowned artist, Tiago Strela. This was my first introduction to the world of fine art. I moved to Lisbon, Portugal at the age of 17 and enrolled at Caparica Art school to study classic guitar and art history fundamentals.

I moved to Vancouver, Canada at the age of 21 and studied Interior Design at BCIT ( 3-D modelling, lighting & texturing ). In 2005 I enrolled at Columbia Academy and graduated as a digital analog recording arts /sound engineer

When I paint my pieces, I don’t know what I’m going to paint, what color of paint to use or material. It is more like a journey into the unknown, chasing the colors in transformation. I like harmony in nature and often question everything, My influences come from the spiritual word to fashion design. Growing up around sewing machine, fabrics, textile, opened up a new world for me. My mission in a few words is communicate…..engage…..reflect

Lopes Gallery is more than an art space—it’s a global creative movement and a vibrant creative community. We exist to inspire, connect, and elevate the voices of artists, creative artists, and visionaries from every corner of the world.

Rooted in the bold spirit of abstract art and expanding into music, documentary storytelling, and filmmaking, Lopes Gallery is a platform where creativity knows no boundaries. It’s a space where painters, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, designers, and other creative individuals come together to explore, collaborate, and push the limits of artistic expression.

Our mission is to represent and amplify both local and international talent by showcasing their unique visions and perspectives. We believe every brushstroke, every beat, and every frame tells a story that deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether emerging or established, the creative artists and thinkers we collaborate with are at the heart of everything we do.

Lopes Gallery stands as a bridge between cultures, disciplines, and people. Through dynamic exhibitions, collaborative music projects, thought-provoking documentaries, and interactive community initiatives, we aim to foster meaningful connections and inspire the next generation of creative artists and the broader creative community worldwide.

This is not just a gallery. It’s a living, breathing canvas for limitless expression and a home for the creative community.
