“...these journeys, both inner and outer, referential and experiential.”

Juan Manuel De Luz Fine Art

“Painting mirrors the bi-lingual experience.”
In 2016, Juan Manuel’s art captured the attention of Peter Selz, prolific curator, art historian and instrumental figure in the scholarship on modern art. Selz was taken by the arresting richness of color, composition, and movement he found in Juan Manuel’s work.

Juan Manuel De Luz’s paintings are like three-way conversations between the artist, the viewer, and the world. The world the viewer brings to the art, the world the artist brings to the viewer, and the painting itself – on its own – speaking as its own entity. The chaos and disturbances of life in the 21st century compel the artist to paint in a language not yet heard before, a language so multi-layered in abstract images that in no part of a painting are they ever just one thing; they change, with each viewing. Within each piece there are journeys to be taken, and an infinite number of them, depending upon the imagination of the audience.
