20^th Century Spanish

After graduating with a degree in Art History in 1977 from the University of Seville, Lacomba became a self-taught artist. His early works could be categorised within the expressionist figuration movement that swept the international art world in the mid 1980s. He later focused on the depiction of barren, desolate landscapes. His love for landscape came from his time in Paris, where he settled in the early 1980s after winning a scholarship from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and training at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. In the mid 1980s he moved to the town of Carmona, near Seville, where he set up his studio.

His work has been seen in many group and solo exhibitions, and is included in many private and public collections in Spain and abroad. He has won several awards, including the 1985 Luis Cernuda Painting Prize and the 1995 Focus Visual Arts Prize. Since 2012, he is a member of the Santa Isabel de Hungría Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Seville.
