"It is not only about the haunting image of the past, an easy matter to achieve; or the recreation of old stations anchored in memory, like silent survivors of an excitement fixed in time forever. It is not simple locomotives that burst into their own thick cloud of steam, nor trains that merrily wind their path between a furrow of trees, nor nights broken by the deafening sound of the whistle. It is more than that.

The work of Luis Alfonso Luna is pure painting. It is an emotional relationship, the self-expression of his language. It is his own mix of tendencies, values, thoughts and references that determine what he believes a painting should be. It is an honest work committed with feeling and aesthetic. It is also composition, mastery of color, spatulas and sure brush strokes that show great work and labor.

In his paintings there is no grandstanding, no positions currently involved with the present day, there is only complete passion and plasticity. His landscapes and desolate train stations of yesteryear are an excuse to express their own inflections of his spirit, his memories, his artist's soul and that is valid."
