Luiz Escañuela is a visual artist from Brazil with a degree in graphic design. He began to create his first signature works at the age of just 20.

He has gained notoriety for his series of large, hyperrealistic portraits showcased in both national and international exhibitions and workshops. In 2019, he was listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Arts category.
