Luis Bertos was born in London in 1971. As a young man he moved to Granada. In 1997 he graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Granada, where he lives until 2007.
Luis Bertos pays special attention to the urban landscape and architecture where he finds what interests him most, perspective and light.
Bertos evokes in his paintings the architectural roundness of some buildings that are submerged in a subtle expressive fog and whose perspectives become a play of light and shadow capable of building space and the city. Exaggerating what interests him and discarding the accessory, the artist transforms the anonymous and uninhabited streets into personal and nostalgic places.
Since 1993, the painter has participated in various collective and individual exhibitions, both in Granada and Madrid, obtaining various awards and scholarships.
