I am Luis Rinćon and I am a Colombian artist who now lives in Spain. Almost forth part of the century I am doing arts in various forms. Drawings, oil paintings, murals, portraits. I started my art life since child as already heard the voice of vocation, and since that I try to find inspiration in every moment of my life. Traveling and making sketches, painting murals that reflect not only pleasure and beauty but also problems of our society, investigation the story of my country, creating new forms of my artistic expression.
I studied in University of Fine Arts in Spain, had lessons with professors of Repin Fine Arts Academy in Saint Petersburg and participated in various individual and collective exhibitions.
I don't go for one particular theme in my artworks. Everything depends on inspiration, situation and my perception of myself in the universe in this particular moment of time. Mostly I like to paint landscapes and human figures, but if inspiration comes I can dive into abstract paintings.
I also like to paint murals both for interior and exterior. So in everything I do I try to follow my artistic soul.
What inspires you?
My best inspiration is the desire to transmit what I want to say without words by means of art
Describe your creative process.
My creative process starts from an idea, then I look for relative information in my visual archives: texts that inspire me, my photos that correspond with this idea, poems, music etc. Depending on what I want to trigger in the viewer's impression I choose the color palette. When everything is ready, an introspection and action begin - my artistic performance that will result in a painting or other artwork.
