Luis Felipe Chávez (b. 1996)
raised in a small town in west-central Mexico, is an artist based in San Francisco CA.
Statement
I create art as a means of finding new ways to exist in a hard world. Using traditional drawing and painting, I focus on those things I find most difficult to understand. I try to show the traces of what I feel as real, both physical and symbolic, which in turn allows me to [re]find myself and [re]build myself. I keep in mind the concept of transformation and death, taking death as both biological cessation and acceptance of impermanence, and the transformation of light and space in the face of internal and external personal changes.
