Luis is a visual artist working across disciplines creating product design and commercial animation for the 21st century.

Having taken fine art to the street and art for well-being to community earned the Glasgow legend status.

Having a diverse and accomplished career as both a fine artist and professional in the field of 3D product design & Marketing. With underwater archaeology and sky diving I have seen artefacts & landscapes not easily accessible to regular study.

I am passionate about giving back to community I have contributed to volunteer organizations for 30 years delivering workshops in physical, fine art and industrial processes in a range of environments.

Reading Jung has aided my ability to relate to others.

The creation of the Venus form in various stages - from conceptualization through material manipulation and craftsmanship - parallels Ulysses' journey in Homer's epic poem. In both cases, there is a need for skill, adaptation, and persistence when facing challenges and obstacles. The artist must navigate their creative process while overcoming technical difficulties and finding innovative solutions. Similarly, Ulysses encountered numerous hardships during his voyage but ultimately succeeded in returning home due to his intelligence, cunning, and resilience.

I create work with love and necessity.

Having being fraught with the crash and burn effect throughout my life, my searching thoughts found a haven in the activities of making and painting, empowering a oneness a wholeness of my self last enjoyed in the youth of my years.

Utilising ADHD energy positively to be informed more and bring together aspects of my interests in Sculpting, Ceramics, Archaeology, Psychology and Anthropology ensured my sanity with what seems like an immense amount of informational resource to draw from for several lifetimes.

More lately assisted by technology to create 3d animation for commerce and story telling additionally resourcing my initial Venus, motif and self portrait life study now sculpted in vertices lines and faces and textured with procedural nodes advanced the work from traditional sculpting in clay to digital sculpting facilitating for film laying out a path anticipating my advancing years to make art with the sparsest of resources and mobility.

My influence is Hendry Moor, Carl Jung, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, Ian Hubert and Andy Warhol exploring Form, Relationships, Storytelling, Workflows, Film and Marketing.

I have had a diverse and accomplished career as both a fine artist and a professional in the field of 3D printing and product design.

My training as a sculptor and work in 3D rapid prototyping, animation, and architectural design demonstrate my versatility and adaptability in the creative industry.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to any project or organization I am involved with. Overall, I play a significant role as a multidisciplinary creator and innovator in the creative industries.

As a multidisciplinary artist and designer, I bring over three decades of experience to my creative practice. With roots in fine art, ceramics, and sculpture, I have always been drawn to creating and expressing myself through various mediums. This passion has led me to explore other areas such as music, dance, and theatre, where I have made substantial contributions through volunteering.

My work in 3D product design, animation, and architectural design showcases my ability to adapt and excel in different environments. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in these areas, allowing me to create unique and impactful designs that push boundaries and challenge expectations.

In all aspects of my work, I strive to be innovative and push beyond conventional norms. Whether I'm working on a new piece of art or designing a cutting-edge product, I approach each project with enthusiasm and a desire to excel beyond my skillset.

For example, I've worked on projects related to fashion, interior decoration, photography, graphic design, illustration, publishing, painting, sculpting, jewelry creation, rapid prototyping, 3d print in pla and resin, ceramic production, woodworking, metalwork, bronze casting, furniture manufacturing, textiles, textile printing, sewing machine operation, weaving machines, screen-printing presses, offset lithography printers, letterpress printers, digital printmakers, inkjet printers, wax stencil printers, silkscreen printers, hand-painters, mural painters, airbrush painters, spray paint cans, acrylic paints, watercolours, oil pastels, charcoal pencils, graphite pens, mechanical pencils, fountain pen nibs, ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, technical pens, brush pens, markers, coloured pencils, crayon sticks, chalkboards, modrock, concrete, sandstone, Portuguese paving and mosaics.

Artistic practice requires constant experimentation and exploration. By incorporating new techniques and ideas, I continually evolve and grow.

I am drawn towards constant experimental and exploration when making art or delivering workshops and believe creative expressions occur at different stages within each individual based upon genetic predisposition and external factors.

Harnessing creativity means learning and promoting learner agency, taking responsibility for one's own learning process. Taking ownership of what one has learned empowers one to become independent thinker and critical consumer of information. With a non linear approach progress is made learning how to learn with guidance and support.

Sharing knowledge and encouraging growth among peers is important. Being surrounded by positive influences inspires confidence and motivation.

My heutegogic approach emphasizes learning through active engagement and metacognition with reflection aids thinking critically about oneself and one's actions. Both play crucial roles in effective decision making and problem solving.

Sometimes staying focused takes great effort especially when dealing with groups of individuals or experiencing sensory overload. However, sometimes focusing too hard can lead to burnout. I set aside times throughout the week dedicated to relaxation and recreation like walking outdoors which helps clear the head and allows reset of the internal clock, plus fresh air stimulates brain function.

Even gentle exercise releases endorphins which increase happiness levels. Exercise also increases blood flow and oxygenation to the brain helping to improve cognitive functions and realizing an overall well-being which is the ultimate end goal in my estimation.
