From the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Krystiano DaCosta emerged as a unique artist with an urgency to learn and create. His Italian heritage and strong desire to explore new horizons drove him to move to Italy in his early 20’s to refine his artistic skills.

Later, Krystiano moved to the United States where he became a Walt Disney World scenic artist. Fortunate to work alongside many talented artists from around the world, he learned an impressive skill set of techniques that has aided him in developing his style.

Krystiano has become a revolutionary pioneer in Central Florida through inventions of his interpretation of Industrial Impressionism — developing pieces of art where he combines natural elements with traditionally European textures. The result is an industrial refine furniture collection, creating intricate decorative pieces of art and innovative pieces of furniture serving the industry of Interior Design.

On his most recent work, Krystiano has been pushing the boundaries of fine art on metal. Born from fire, this technique took years to be perfected. A chaotic collision between pigmentation and direct fire on the distressed metal gives a holographic effect with an incredible three-dimensional look, giving each piece its unique character.

Reflecting on his life as an artist, DaCosta says, “I create art not just for my clients, but for myself as well. It is an extension of me that is limitless. The excitement to display and the ability to share with the people makes creating art an amazingly rewarding experience.”
