Born and raised in Venezuela, Luis Guillermo Fernandez Lovera (lugufelo) came to the US to escape mounting political and social instability in his home country. Many of his pieces reflect the contradiction between hard exteriors and deeper meaning, probably as a result of early life in a country fraught with contradictions and
strife. His use of bright colors, though, also reflects the artistÕs positive outlook on life and his constant search for peace and happiness.
lugufelo is known for his unique perception of geometric shapes and the kinetic movement created by layering shapes and forms. Drawing inspiration from Naum Gabo, Pablo Picasso and Victor Vasarely, lugufelo studied briefly under the great maestro, Jesus Rafael Soto, melding all of these influences into his unique and lively
art today.
lugufelo currently lives and works in Miami, FL.
His artwork is represented in private collections in the US, Mexico, Norway and Venezuela, as well as public installations and exhibitions around the world.
