Artistic style
Luis Enrique Camejo's favourites themes are the relationship between man and his environment - especially urban environment at night - and Time.
These themes are materialized by lights and colours effects such as blurring or dripping, in order to evocate the speed of modern times, with just some details clear in the vagueness like a tree or - paradoxically - a car.
Luis Enrique Camejo is a member of the Cuban Artists and Writers Organisation.
