Lives and works in Astoria, New York

Luis Colan credits discovering his passion for painting after experiencing the yearly religious festival El Senor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) as a small child. From then on he has taken inspiration from the beauty he sees in everyday life to create his work. "Cocina de Mama," his first solo exhibition through Woodward Gallery, featured a collection of still lifes of food he grew up helping his mother prepare in the kitchen. He graduated with a BFA in painting and a minor of Art History from the University of Hartford and continues to perfect his craft through various classes in New York City.
