“Art for enlightenment’s sake”

About Luke Galutia:
Luke Galutia has been centered in the fine arts since 1989, and has won
awards for his paintings and animated videos. His artwork has been
recognized by the famous Pacific Northwest artist Amy Burnett as being
cutting-edge Op-art. Luke's strong elements of design and color make his
art the perfect vehicle of communication for sacred geometry and
Metaphysics. Luke pulls much of his subject matter from mystical
traditions in Kabbalah, Sefer Yetzirah, and The Zohar, and personal
experiences.

Galutia started painting at age 13 in the medium of acrylic and oil
paint. In 1994 he won first place in the local high school educational
art contest in Yakima county. The painting went on to the statewide
competition, again winning top honors and becoming a part of the
Washington State Art Commission Collection. 'Surrealism of the Souls -
Paradox of a Tragedy' toured the United States, as part of the
Washington state capitols art collection.
