Luis Kaiulani Abstract Painting on Canvas Titled Genesis 1361 Offered for sale is an abstract painting by Miami-based artist Luis Kaiulani titled "Genesis 1361". The work is acrylic on canvas. Growing up as a child in Hawaii, Luis Kaiulani describes his influence as a mixture of culture & nature, geography & philosophy. His upbringing involved absorbing all of the wonders of the Hawaiian forests, playing in the sands on secluded beaches, meditating on mountaintops, and diving into one of the world’s most amazing bodies of water, the Pacific Ocean. While he credits his affinity toward nature to this idyllic time – there is another side of Luis Kaiulani that is fiery, passionate, and aching for excitement. He attributes this ‘fiery’ side to his Latin American heritage. For the past 20 years, Luis Kaiulani’s attention to fluidity, mindfulness, and color dimension has brought his artworks into a realm all of their own. Luis creates abstract works that draw from his Hawaiian and Venezuelan backgrounds and are expressed via his sculptures, paintings, and art objects. For the onlooker, his work simultaneously feels strong and imaginary, much like the archipelago he hails from. His focus on color brings to life his work’s objective, Luis says, “My art is a metaphor for nature’s constant quest for growth through learning, experience, and contribution.” And this objective is made evident when one looks at the color and rhythm that his works of art exude. Luis has trained with very accomplished artists such as master Octavio Acuna Solano, Ramon Diaz Lugo, Pedro Centeno Vallenilla, Oscar d’Empaire, Henry Bermudez & Edgar Gutierrez. Among those early influences were the works of Rothko, Kooning, Miro, Kandinsky and Pollock. He seeks subjects that complement his growing concern with form, space, and color, where the presentation of archaic forms and symbols as subject matter illuminates modern existence, as has been the influence of Surrealism, Cubism, and Abstract art.
