Luis’s work as that of all contemporary artists I admired determines my own results. Art is art. This process begins in awe of the forms of nature: the great creation. The artist is always not to copy their results, but its processes, see the same thing differently, not by imitating but evolving, says Luis “recreating permanently. ” Each artist has reinvented color which leads to infinite combinatorics, looking for the pitch, harmonies and contrasts are only yours, which fully correspond to his own sensibility, being freed from the bondage of reality.<\/p>\n
