Luis Lesca studied design at Glendale Community College, in California. There he learned the fundamentals of composition, color theory, typography and studio photography.
Lesca's work is instantly recognized for their exaggerated lips and eyes. Our eyes help us see the physical world in which we live in, while the mouth is an instrument that helps us to verbally describe it. However, we don't always express what we see, and there's usually some degree of embellishment, which then alters the original event. The lips and eyes are just symbols of exaggeration. They are the instruments that aid in the creation of myths. His obsession with the subject of ambiguity derives from investigating the writings of Wittgenstein, Baudrillard and Zizek.
Lesca works with acrylics, charcoal, sharpies, oils, chalk, pastels, paper, and canvas. Lesca's art deals with themes about isolation, personal experiences, language, musical interpretations, ambiguity, and sexuality. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous local galleries of Pasadena, Hollywood and Los Angeles.
