Krystiano DaCosta

Krystiano DaCosta emerged from the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, driven by a profound urgency to learn and create. Drawing from his Italian heritage and desire to explore new horizons, he moved to Italy in his early twenties to refine his artistic skills. He later relocated to the United States, where he became a distinguished member of the Walt Disney World artistry group, working alongside talented artists from around the globe and mastering diverse techniques that shaped his distinctive style.
DaCosta is an industrial artist renowned for his innovative and cutting-edge techniques that merge the worlds of industry and art. He employs advanced tools and materials including metal, glass, and recycled plastic to create sculptures, installations, and other visual art forms. His works feature bold geometric patterns, mixed media, and conceptual themes that serve as commentary on the intersection of creativity, industry, and technological advancement.
As one of only 35 artists in the world recognized as a Walt Disney Fine Art Legacy Artist, DaCosta holds a prestigious place among those who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy. His creations often incorporate cutting-edge technology and a distinctive steampunk style, bridging classic animation with modern art forms. Represented by Park West Gallery, his work is deeply influenced by animation legends like Walt Disney and Chuck Jones.
