Born in Mexico City, since she was small, she felt the need to express her innermost feelings through art, finding in the paint, the perfect place to capture on her canvases pretext, a magical universe and always aesthetic.
Multifaceted, changing, constant and insatiable search, she discovers a new self at every stage.
With the resources that are born from nature, seeks to express the intangible, such as pure feeling with all the emotions that arise.
She goes through all the moods and discover that duality is only a veil, a mesh that creates an illusion of separation, when in fact everything is inescapably linked.
Luz expresses herself through organic and abstract forms without ever losing the harmonious and aesthetic perspective.
In her creative process she has gone through multiple stages that depart from traditional trends, to the domain of a particular style, where her characters are just an excuse.
In her paintings she reveals that after the stereotyped monster of emotions, lies a perfect balance without saying a word, her paintings express the intention that motivates her in a natural and obvious way.
Luz surprises us, revealing a world where natural forms are a mere pretext, a simple character through which the most intense feelings overlook.

WHAT'S NEW
This is the result of the search to capture the pictorial art in everyday objects, finding in it the dissemination of art.
In the conjugation and dissemination of this concept, we headed to companies and individuals wishing to get beyond a promotional item or a common gift, a detail full of elegance, presence and personal and corporate impact, to support the sale and promotion of their products as well as New Year’s gifts or personal details to their customers, executives and friends.
We want to present the range of images derived from the paintings of LUZ HERRERA and objects which can translate each of them, such as scarves, shawls, ties, mugs, wine cases, notebooks, diaries without being limited to objects mentioned here.
For our complete catalogue please do not hesitate to contact us.
