“Life itself is a fountain of inspiration and ideas. As I prepare to start on a new piece, my imagination gets a powerful spark and my studio fill with this unbelievable excitement which makes each work mystical and magical, yet fulfills me with total freedom.”
A commitment to creative self-expression is a defining aspect of Miami-based artist Luisa Pulido. Having been born into a family of artists, Luisa’s creative side was always encouraged and supported. Creating artwork has played a pivotal role in Luisa’s life, who is living with Asperger’s, which has impacted her social interactions. Luisa has spent a lot of time alone, painting has always been there for introspection, self-expression and a means to connect with others.
Inspired by Van Gogh, Luisa’s paintings are marked by two distinct styles, the first is solely focused on process. “I am focused on just how I’m painting, rather than what it is.” Her other painting style begins with big, bold shapes and colors and evolves from there.
