Luisa Mesa
Luisa Mesa was born in Havana, Cuba, and earned her BFA (Magna Cum Laude) at FIU, in Miami, where she lives and works.  In her work, Mesa explores the nature of human consciousness and the relationship of Individuals to the larger picture, through mixed media, such as enamel, acrylic, oil, digital images and resin, among others.  The process of repetitive drawing is the essence of the work; the lines in the work are a metaphor for the relation of all things, and the layers allude to the multidimensionality and different levels of our existence. Mesa has exhibited her work in numerous venues, is included in several important collections, and is an Artist-in-Residence at ArtCenter South Florida.
