Artist Statement
With a deliberate creative process, Luis Abreux aims to evoke emotion with his work. The human, the immigrant, the memory, the interactions of constant escape and the experiences of interminable travel leading the way. “Learning to pray”, a series of works who analyze the unbalance of power and no control of his life in the past.
Canvas , paper, any other material is absorbed in an unconscious search. His work absorbs and melts the before and now, the fantasy and the reality pictured in a surrealist diary that births real experiences and the absurdities of a social experiment. Objects culture, Drawings, collages, mixed techniques, and others mediums are used to support diverse ideas and sensations.”
