Ernesto Lucas Polá, born 23rd November 2000, in Milange, Zambézia Province, is an up-and-coming Mozambican artist.

In his own words, “I use art to express with confidence what I live, see and think. It’s swimming in a sea of colour that I find, in my heart, the strength to keep me going. Today, after a life of struggle, being fortunate enough to do what I love is what brings a smile to my face.”
