Luis Sanchez, a Renaissance man and extraordinary talent, has emerged in the
art world combining both symbolic physical structures, art history, and
contemporary ecology displayed in trompe l'oeil two-dimensional works. His
name not easily forgotten once you have seen this art or met this amazing
man. This Mexican born painter executes his works from the depth and wisdom
of one who has lived a fine line between life and death. The images from his
paintings reach the viewer, as he brings canvas to life and dreams to a wise
timeless still. Reinventing the ancient process of fresco, he paints
details of degraded stucco walls remembered from his childhood in Mexico
City. He brings the past to the present contemplating about the future and
reminding us all that the past holds the truth to the future.

Born May 25th 1968, Luis lived the first ten years of his life in Mexico
City with his family, a Cuban born father, a Mexican-Lebanese mother an
older brother and sister. At age seven after demonstrating an innate
talent, his parents enrolled him in Mexico's Prestigious Museo De Bellas
Artes, foretelling a future of heritage and destiny. A passionate and
diverse family including artisans, dancers and bullfighters surrounded his
early life. Luis' family immigrated to the United States in 1979.

Luis attended Cornish College of the arts in Seattle Washington after
graduating from high school in 1987. Art history, life and perspective
drawing were the focal of his studies. After a lifetime of chronic kidney
disease and years of hemodialysis machines, he received a successful kidney
transplant in 1993. Unable to return to his studies Luis focused on
teaching himself the subtleties of human anatomy through books and sketching
at times twelve hours a day. " My transplant was a rebirth, its difficult
to explain, but it certainly puts life, everyone in it and everything in
crystal clear perspective". Energy, discipline, drive and a palpable life
force emanate from him now. Cherishing life, he lives it by design, he is
unstoppable.
