About Luis Granda:
Although Luis Granda works in a modern, expressive style that is distinctly reflective of his own time, the artist honors long forgotten traditions of the great masters in order to add a deeply personal touch to his bold yet eloquent paintings. By customizing his canvases and mixing each of his pigments by hand, Luis Granda creates works of art which are complete expressions of his artistic spirit. Over time, Granda developed a system of iconography which expresses his inner thoughts and emotions through visual means, which he now incorporates into each carefully planned painting. After thoughtfully choosing his thematic elements, Granda then selects colors which will best express the emotive properties of his subjects. Finally, Granda\'s application of the paint to the canvas creates rich surface textures that heighten the overall effect of the painting.
While Granda\'s works can be appreciated for their aesthetic beauty, artful composition and traditional craftsmanship, they also project raw emotion and hidden narratives which heighten their allure. Luis Granda divides his time between Mexico and Europe.
