Luis Gonte, born in Mexico City, is an eccentric and polifacetic artist, entrepreneur, designer, art hunter, builder, pilot, interior designer and motorcycle refurbisher, whose passion for design and architecture has taken him to explore the world in an unconventional way, nourishing his understanding of life and allowing him to create exceptional pieces of art, based on real life experiences.

Being a fervent lover of nature, he strongly believes that “Nobody is a better artist than God”; and his work is a mirror of his beliefs. His distinct artistic prowess relies on fusing raw materials like stone, metal and wood, always allowing the natural patterns to play an important role in his designs, and worrying about emphasizing the natural beauty of them.

His great appreciation for other people’s work has driven him to start a journey in search of the work of passionate artists and artisans with hidden talents from different cultures from all over the world to exhibit them in his own art studio gallery in San Diego, California.
