Luis Iga’s Artist Statement:
With the lens, I capture my vision of the values and belief system of people. I examine the emotions they exhibit through my own lens of life and recreate them on my canvas. I bring to light the modern condition of pleasure and pain through images that sometimes are reluctant to tell their secret. I excite the eye by using colors, shadows, and contrasts hoping to bring relief from their everyday visual routine.
As I continue to develop my identity, I explore all perspectives of the world by traveling and studying other cultures. I’m influenced by infinite forces like cubism, surrealism, post-modernism, contemporary art, and the constant access to information in the digital age. I capture colors, lights, and shapes in the grain of 35mm film.
