Luciano Scherer has two descriptors in his Flickr profile that I think sum up his work: post-naive and gothic. Themes in his work are a bit dark, with creatures looming over the landscape. They are in contrast to an otherwise idyllic landscape, only adding to the feeling of uneasiness.
In addition, Luciano does paint in a flat, almost naive manner, reminding me of Henri Rousseau, a prominent folk painter. The contrast between the endearing forest and the evil lurking within is a compelling part of Luciano’s work.
