Coming from a practicing artist i think Lutaaya is a genius and I don't say that lightly, further more I can qualify that claim by pointing out the fact that he paints/collages on two levels(abstract and portrait) simultaneously at will. That's a fine line I wish him all the best.

I started my own thread in this comment section (it's easy enough to find), exposing my view through the construction of a reasoned argument, centered around one specific point raised I want to recommend my favorite artists Gabriel Orozco, Margarita Dittborn, Gabino amaya cacho, Al borde and Julio Bittencourt.
