ABOUT THE WORK

It was in Arturo Luz' travels around Asia that he found inspiration to create his White Temples series. Incorporating into his work the very geometric mode of abstraction he has been known for, Luz' creates stunning landscapes that feature some of the elaborate architecture in his own stylized rendition. This very work drew inspiration from Rajasthan, the largest state in India. Rajasthan directly translates to 'Land of the Kings' — and deservingly so, as the sheer grandeur and eloquence of the palatial structures of the state stand as a testament to such majesty. This piece, ever so striking and enchanting, could very well be of the Rambagh Palace in Rajasthan.
