Born in Guadalajara, Mexico and raised in the urban setting of Chicago Heights, Illinois gave Luis Sahagun the foundation for his art. Being the youngest son with two older female siblings, Luis has always seen himself facing life obstacles on his own. Drawing cartoons and creating imaginative superheroes was his coping mechanism to his childhood problems. His work and process reflects his past experiences and current views of the earth bound fight between Good and Evil (the invisible war).
Luis Graduated from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a specialization in Industrial design and double minors in Art History and Marketing.
He is currently a studio artist for Union Street Gallery, works as a Gallery Assistant, and is pursuing a Masters in Painting and Mixed Media at Governors State University in University Park, Illinois.
