We’re looking forward to introducing you to Luisa Mesa. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Luisa, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
The creative process makes me lose time. When I am making art I often forget to eat and don’t even know what time it is.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am a fine artist working in three different mediums.
I create non-representational drawings on paper, wood and glass employing materials such as inks, enamels, watercolor, acrylic and resin. Some of my works are sculptural and incorporate three-dimensional objects such as lenses and metal.
I also generate digital photo-based compositions using my own photographs, among others. Some of these compositions incorporate certain images I produce with AI.
Lastly, I create figurative oil paintings, mainly female faces.
I feel comfortable working in all the aforementioned mediums and I typically work in series.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
The relationship with my father most shaped how I see myself.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Be totally yourself!
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
Right now I am creating a series of figurative oil paintings of women. Mainly “portraits.” These are very time consuming but I am working slowly and do not have a deadline.; just enjoying the process.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I am definitely doing what I was born to do. I am my best self when I make art!
