Ricardo Luévanos

Ricardo Luévanos (Guadalajara, Mexico, 1985) has established himself as a prominent multidisciplinary and mixed media artist who bases his works on digital technique. His pieces are known for the use of pastel tones and the recurring theme of flora and fauna. He has exhibited in places such as the Bass Museum, the Faena Forum and Miami Art Basel, in addition to collaborating with brands from the world of fashion and design such as Ferragamo, Farfetch, Givenchy and Mercedes-Benz, among others. Luévanos is a bold explorer, recovering formal resources from figurative, conceptual and traditional art. His work evokes emotions rooted in youth and adolescent nostalgia. Phrases of love, abandonment and pain materialize in sinuous neon lights and are also expressed on ceramics and canvases. Beauty and pain constitute the creative force of Luévanos’ body of work. Flocks transform into swarms, neon luminosity that paradoxically enunciates a rupture or a fatal abandonment. The wide acceptance that Luévanos' work has among generations of young people and contemporary audiences lies in its dazzling ability to call for reflection and exploration of the deepest corners of our own existence.
