Comments about his work
“... his painting reveals a search for signs, interior and
exterior, in constant dialogue between light and material,
between the voices of the soul and the almost carnal forms that
seem to inhabit some of his paintings as living and autonomous
organisms. Throughout all his work passes, in unmistakable
tones, an expressed wish or an uncontained dream of freedom
and harmony, which echoes in all of us.”
“In the intimacy of his work... the minimum gesture reflects
a personal religion or healthy cepticism and a fragile equilibrium
in the stroke that defines the frisson of his own vertiginous life,
and an eternal rebirth to the daily exercise of meditation, as in
a gestual Zen... evoking, in the simbolism of his wise strokes,
the memory of the gothic mirages of Manuelism in search of
those spiritual Indias where, in vortexes of light, is sighted the
hope of a redemption...”
“They are pathetic pilgrimages through oneiric, erotic-sentimental
landscapes, an almost obsessive fascination by the
curvilineal escape, aIluding to a deliberately interminable
espaciality.
“… the solitary grandness of the interior landscapes drapes
itself in caprichious forms that the prodigious luxuriousness of
sensibility and imagination creates, a bit each day, a bit in each
work.”
“... pieces of dreams, gardens for our eyes to wander in,
obscure remembrances, intermittent illuminations, fugitive
words, windows of his soul, his natural breathing... Luis' s
painting is encounter and divergency, a certain dose of solitude,
an echo, a tenuous bridge, the light of dawn, the discreet
ondulating of the sea in the dryness of the landscape, the border
between yesterday and today, a journey project.”
