Journey To The Center of Myself

About the artist

Luis is best known for his realistic paintings of beautiful subjects (his friends) set in somewhat surreal circumstances, painted on his signature highly-textured canvases that resemble degraded stucco. This recreation of the walls he remembers from his childhood in Mexico City gives his work a most unusual quality – melding the ancient past with present-day fashionable participants, and a question about what the future holds in the mysterious scenes he paints.
