About The Artwork
This is one of four paintings inspired by my time in the northern Thai countryside. I have been married to a Thai woman for almost six years, however we have been together, visiting and later building a house on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, for over eight years. This is one of a set of four multiple color woodcut prints which I created in conjunction with C.A.P. Studio in 2014. The titles for these pieces are in Spanish, not only because I tend to feel in Spanish and think in English due to having grown up in Mexico, but also because I felt a lot of similarities in Thai village life as compared to my own growing up in a Mexican village, and so it felt kind of homey. This work was inspired by the love I see Thai mothers have for their children, carrying them everywhere in the same way Mexican village women carry their children everywhere. I called it "Calor Maternal" (Motherly Warmth) because I view many of my experiences in Thailand through the eyes of a Mexican and thus they are influenced by the bright, intense colors of Mexico.

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
