Luis Seven Martins, L7matrix, was only 13 when he first met spray paints. Over the years, L7 has explored many painting techniques and finally created his own unique approach by using china ink, varnish, soft pastel, oil pastel, acrylic and spray paint.
It is not just the technique that L7matrix has experimented with, but also, he has created his own unique style by combining geometrical elements and very stylized colour puzzles with realism attained by elaborated details. It is exactly that combination of colour, simplicity and free geometry that awakens certain contradictions and even uncomfortable feelings in the viewers.
L7 is equally inspired by the beauty and the sorrows of life and is further Influenced by the disarray of surrounding environments. L7 can’t help but generate sophisticated chaos by masterfully blending the roughness and elegance of his subjects.
