This piece was inspired by recent visit to Pai in northern Thailand. My wife and I decided to relive some of our useful memories of backpacking and thus we stayed in a backpacker hostel. I met some lovely people, but overall the experience filled me with memories of my own awkward youth, trying to impress others and living the amateur life; always drinking to suppress the little voice which kept telling me that I was wasting my time, my life. This is a painting of making peace with this part of my hero's journey, my youth, and it’s also homage to humanity with all its flaws and apparent differences. All of us longing for connection with one another but not knowing how best to go about it. It's about the hopes and dreams of the youth.

Thailand
Luna grew up in rural Mexico, the son of a Mexican quantum chaos physicist and an American mother who taught, wrote, edited and translated. Part of his youth was spent in the United States. In California, he studied Cultural Anthropology and Art, specializing in printmaking at UCSC. As an adult, he has lived in Germany, Hungary, and Thailand. Each place has influenced his art and provided inspiration on his journey to find peace in paradox. His work has been sold worldwide in such countries as Thailand, Mexico, USA, Malaysia and Hungary. ARTIST STATEMENT My drawings are abstracted from various aspects of nature. Each of them is a prospective sculptural essence. They are conceived from enhancements, maturities, multiplications and intensification of forms. My main subjects are people because they are a world, a landscape, and an animal all bundled into one. My work is strongly inspired by the Mexican muralists whose murals I grew up seeing as well as by the delicate line-work which characterises Thai and much of Asian art. The American expressionists’ use of color and bold strokes are how my American side shows itself. Interested in becoming a Patron? Click here: https://www.patreon.com/nicolaslunaartist
