Luis Simó

Born in 1996 in Vielha, Lleida, Spain.

He currently resides in Valencia, where he has studied Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, from 2014 to 2019.

Through his drawings and paintings, tries to show a particular universe in which the natural and the technological world coexist in the same medium. Color is one of the most important elements of his work, where he reflects on issues such as the natural environment and its components, human behavior or the use of mass media and the power and influence they exert on contemporary society. Furthermore, Luis Simó offers a wide amalgam of references that blur the line between past and present, reality and fiction. Portraits of new and old acquaintances, old photographs, plants and animals, cartoons and even references to the history of art itself make up the bulk of this postmodern universe, in which both, the appreciation and influence of nature and the city and the frequent presence of a social and critical tone are notable.

In 2018 he completed his studies abroad thanks to the Erasmus grant in Krakow, Poland, where he had the opportunity to exhibit a series of drawings at the University of Fine Arts in Krakow.

He is currently performing almost exclusively...
