Born in Marianao, Cuba, Luis Núñez has lived in Florida
since 1960.
In 1977 he graduated with a degree in electrical
engineering from the University of Miami.
In 1987 Luis, who always had an interest in the visual
arts, started painting in oils as a pastime.
Shortly thereafter, Luis’ paintings began to reveal an
unusual quality, which encouraged him to broaden his
artistic horizons by joining Florida International
University as a visual arts student.
In 1993, he graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Fine
Arts, Magna Cum Laude. In his last year as a student at
FIU, he participated in the 1993 Annual Juried Student
Exhibition, where he received the event's highest award,
the Perry Purchase Award.

His subject matter is varied, from still lives to an occasional portrait. However, landscape painting is his favorite form of
expression.
Although, Luis invites the opportunity to paint any landscape anywhere in the world, his heart is in the Florida landscape.
His Everglades, Biscayne Bay, Big Cypress and Florida Keys paintings capture the light, colors and mood of this beautiful
and unique part of the world.
He has participated in numerous juried exhibitions in the United States. His works are displayed in private collections
throughout the United States, Europe, Central America and Australia as well as in public collections such as the Florida
Department of State, Florida International University Art in Public Places, Biscayne National Park, The Miami-Dade
College and the Frost Art Museum collections.
