Luis Medina

Born and based in Santander, Spain.

Feeling and emotion. My compositions are intended to give a deep meaning and a deceptive simplicity.

I express myself through color, creating a minimalist perspective. I use acrylics on canvas or paper. I am looking for a balance in the composition; Sometimes they are geometric and others are closer to abstraction.

It is the expression of color through minimalist compositions. I try to do "more with less", and as always in my work it is an expression of feelings and sensations.

I believe in a continuous evolution of the work, which is naturally caused by the fact that I get carried away by my own discoveries and feelings when I create it. Influenced by my studies in industrial engineering, my works in some of his series have a geometric pattern.
