Luis Medina


About

Born in Santander, Spain

My works deal with a series of acrylic paintings that reflect the urban reality with geometric lines

The color and geometry are two main elements ally in my paintings, stressing the importance of color, combining the gray spots with thin solid lines of colors that give a strange light
