Luis Sanchez is an artist who is not limited to any one genre, rather, he is a master at many. A true Renaissance man, he excels at figurative and abstract painting, found object mixed-media work, delicate shadowboxes, bronze figurative sculpture, murals, and has even designed a line of artful ceramic clocks, a line of t-shirts, caps and recently a LGBTQ collection of artful greeting cards.
He joined the SP Arts Association at Crafted handmade marketplace.
Born in 1968, Luis lived the first ten years of his life in Mexico City with his family. It seems art was always his destiny, as his mother had very strong dreams and visions of him as a sculptor during her pregnancy. He was enrolled at seven years old at the Museo De Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
Luis is best known for his realistic paintings of 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. His usually large works are mesmerizing examples of trompe l'oeil, leaving viewers with the impression that he has used photography, collage, or other techniques, when he has only dexterously used the brush.
