Luis Figueroa holds a degree in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a master’s degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.

Through a rigorous exploration of color and composition, his pieces construct scenarios where figuration confronts its own materiality. Images from different registers of the Latin American colonial past-portraits, genre scenes, religious iconography and pictorial narrative structures are subjected to reconfiguration processes that generate tensions between representation, surface and volume. At this crossroads, the image is not fixed in a single form, but insists on its autonomy while revealing its capacity for mutation. He has participated in national and international exhibitions and has been selected for prestigious artist residencies abroad. He is based in Mexico City, where he develops his professional practice.
