Luma

France  • 1987

Presentation

Lucas Mathevon alias Luma is an artist born in 1987, in Saint-Etienne, France. It is completely self-taught that the young artist first trained in drawing and, since 2007, in painting on canvas. Painting quickly became more important than drawing and Luma wasted no time in making his first exhibitions.


Luma draws his inspiration from his various passions of music, sport and history. As for his art, it is instinctive, generally starting from associations of colors that he will develop and let live on his canvas; its abstract backgrounds in bright, flashy colors take up some effects of urban walls. He paints with a touch and a dynamic, brutal line, to capture the expressions of the different faces. We generally see in his portraits and in the many writings that surround him, emerging social themes. He expresses his feelings towards our society and likes to make it felt through his works.
