Artist: Jeffrey Luque | Location: Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL
Luque started oil painting in Black Mountain at 23. After Black Mountain, he moved back to his hometown of Jacksonville Beach, FL and continued on his exploration of oil paints.
He moved to New Mexico in 2011 and spent years refining his craft. It was there he found his calling toward highly detailed large-scale floral paintings to try to show the beauty and isolation of flowers and how that relates to our lives. Their moment of beauty is not long lasting and some only show their beauty once and then die. He tries to show this through giving his paintings depth through the darkness in contrast to the vibrancy of isolated color.
Once when he moved back to Florida, his flower paintings developed more and there he started his idea of Girl with Flowers series in 2015. This study pushed his skills
and development of his body of work.
He continually pushes his abilities and understanding from piece to piece as he grows from one to the next.
