Artist Statement:

I paint with the conviction that my art is touching the lives of many people.  My philosophy of living is the result of many people.   My philosophy of living is the result of a life long love affair with art.  As many of my collectors have described me,  "My art comes from my heart".  Art has awakened in my existence the vital energy and vast questions that have no answers. Art has given me the opportunity to live a life filled with magic.

Biography:

Luis Lopez migrated from Mexico to the U.S. in the 70's when he initiated his art career.  He spent several years cultivating his artistic knowledge and worked on various public art projects.  Public interest in his talent increased and he began receiving various commissions throughout the US and Mexico.  He was commissioned in 1993 to create several murals and coordinate colors throughout San Antonio's renowned Market Square.  At the world-famous La Margarita Restaurant hangs one of many of Lopez' murals titled "Campanas de America"- a fine example of his extraordinary skills.  He has provided design and conceptual guidance to business, corporations, medical institutions and universities.  He designed and supervised the execution of Los Pueblitos Boutique in San Antonio, including several large murals of Mexican scenery representing different regions and landscapes.  Lopez' additional design work at Espana Bonita includes a large piece of artwork on canvas entitled "Alhambra".  Lopez built a permanent home for his art studio and gallery in San Antonio called "La Casa Rosa" where he continues to produce and exhibit his powerful artwork and captures the interest of art enthusiasts to an international level.  His rich color combinations represent his powerful cultural background! Lopez' work is being exhibited in California, Texas and Mexico.  What makes Lopez special is his unique blend of consistency, continuous development and achieving new techniques simultaneously.  he improves his craftsmanship by constantly working on it.  He is one of the greatest conceptual artist who focuses on the project with spontaneity, creativity and effectiveness.  Lopez spends part of his time painting at his newest studio in the mountains of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Mexico where he finds solace and inspiration.
