About the Artist

Luz explains, “As the world changed in 2020 and shelter in place became the norm, I was fortunate to have a safe haven at my San Francisco art studio. Suddenly the world became small and we collectively faced the same fears and uncertainties. This did not feel like a time to embark on expansive projects. Instead, I opted to work on a series of small 5” x 5” stencil monoprints. During a time of intense emotions, when we were brought to our knees, I felt the need to focus on joy and positivity. These tiny prints became my small worlds or “mundos pequeños. I use rich, bold color, with a myriad of shapes to create whimsical abstract pieces. My goal was to create 50 prints. After a few   months, I exceeded my goal with a total of 75 prints. I made a selection of 50 of the most resolved prints for this exhibition.”
