ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This print is one of a set of 3 intaglio prints created using a new, experimental drypoint printmaking method. This method was developed by the Chiang Mai Art on Paper studio in part as a way to create a quick intaglio printmaking method with which to give the US Ambassador to Thailand a demonstration when she visited the studio. I was picked as the artist to create the demonstration image. The owner of the studio-gallery liked my image so much that he decided to print an edition of it as well as request another two images. “The Diplomat” was a direct reaction to the person I was creating the demo for, that is, the US Ambassador. I simplified her stateliness in as few lines as possible.

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:
