This transformation cleverly conserves the transitoriness of modern life; taking fleeting moments and turning them into something palpable and lasting. Luis prompts awe and intrigue with his use of bright neon colours, tapping into our ever-growing fascination with technological advancements. His craft is enriched by a whole parade of mediums. The artist works with everything from spray paint, digital print and acrylic paint to PVC, wood, mud and other textiles.
