The 1990s marked a substantial juncture in Arturo Luz’s life and artistic career. It was a time of relaxation and self-discovery, a much-needed break from the burdens of his bureaucratic post. Worn out, Luz made a bold decision to depart from his official duties and embark on a revitalizing journey across Asia. This time off not only rested his mind and soul but also reignited his artistic fervor.

\n

Moreover, these travels exposed Luz to different cultures and traditions and provided him with new experiences and perspectives. He also marveled at the sight of breathtaking Asian landscapes and architecture, particularly the grand temples, complexes, palaces, and sacred royal tombs, all of which inspired him to create his Cities of the Past and Objects of the Past series.

Imaginary Landscape, painted in 2000, was one of the products of Arturo Luz’s Asian sojourn. Using his signature linear forms and two-colored palette, Luz skillfully captures the diverse architectural structures he encountered–tall, domed, upright, and slanted–with white paint over a black canvas. Essentially simplistic, the artist’s utilization of black and white added a hint of finesse and mysteriousness to this piece, creating a distant, dream-like portrayal of grand edifices and inviting viewers to imagine the details and colors within.
