Printmaking, Etching on Paper

Ships in a Tube
This is the first multiple-color etching I created at Chiang Mai Art on Paper Studio. I created this piece during the social upheavals of 2016, when there were protests and riots in Bangkok. As I had been living in Thailand for six years by then and was married to a Thai woman, I felt the pain the country was going through in my own body and wished to express it. I think I created a sad angel as a way of showing the huge potential the country has to soar and yet, with all of these upheavals, it was disheartening. During those moments, I too was going through some saddening realizations about my own place in Thailand and I wished to combine both in one self-portrait.

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
