1.) Full name and quick bio....has art always been a part of your life? How
did you get started?
My name is Luis Alvaro Sahagun I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and
raised in the urban setting of Chicago Heights, Illinois. Like most children drawing cartoons and
creating imaginative superheroes was my coping mechanism to my childhood
problems. Art has always been a
part of my life; it is my medication. My artwork is indicative of how I see the
world and how I battle with the difficulties of life.
2.) What is your favorite medium and why?
I am currently in love with creating art with cardboard. By using an urban
material and a contemporary process I create a merge between academia and
street art. The outcome challenges
the audience to re-evaluate their preconceived notions of which materials are
accepted as beautiful in art.
