Lucas Garcete (born January 12, 2000) is a Spanish poet and visual artist born in Paraguay. His visual work is associated with the Dark Art movement and is known for its use of backlighting and exploration of themes such as death, love, terror, and transcendence.

Visual Work[edit]
Style[edit]
Garcete's visual work, associated with the Dark Art movement, uses black and white photography with pronounced contrasts and minimal light sources. His images often incorporate symbolic elements and are noted for their exploration of themes such as melancholy and night.
He overlays fabricated figures, such as plague doctors and mythical creatures, onto photographs of people. This technique is influenced by the work of filmmaker Lotte Reiniger, using space to create visually engaging narratives.
Themes[edit]
Garcete’s work is influenced by Greek mythology and Romantic literature. His series Hymns to the night explores themes related to the night and its symbolism. His portrayal of death in his work aims to address the concept's mysterious and often enigmatic aspects.
Awards[edit]
Garcete has received recognition in photography competitions, including the Black & White Series of the Year award at the Monovisions Awards in 2024 for his series "Hymns to the night"[4] and the Color Awards 2023 from Dodho Magazine for his photograph "Epitaph for the Moon"[5]
