Lancelot Ribeiro was born into a Catholic family from Goa (then a Portuguese colony) in Bombay (now Mumbai), India in 1933, and moved to England in 1950, eventually studying life-drawing at St Martin’s School of Art in London. His artwork was initially inspired by Indian and Goan architecture and the Christian tradition, but he later experimented with polyvinyl acetate (PVA), largely embracing abstraction during the 1960s-80s.
