Painting has been part of Luz’s life
for as long as she can remember.
She followed that passion to an art academy in Paris,
where she learned, experimented,
and began to find her own way of seeing.
She kept painting.
One work became a series.
One series led to another.
A few paintings appeared in small exhibitions.
Most were never shown.
They stayed in her studio,
stacked one behind another, seen by only a few.
Over more than thirty years,
they quietly became an archive of a life spent painting.
Now, for the first time,
these works are coming together and stepping out of the shadows.
Brought to light opens Luz’s hidden collection—a private world,
built over a lifetime, finally made visible.

A Monstera in the historic Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam. Part of an ongoing series, begun in 2016, on the textures and forms of plants, leaves and dense greenery. As a child, Luz was frightened of this plant: at night, its shadows moved across the walls of her home. Only much later did she learn its name, which suddenly made sense.
