Luis Feito López 1929 -2021) In 1950 he entered the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, this being a brief figurative period, followed by cubist experimentation. Four years later, he held his first solo exhibition with non-figurative work, at the Buchholz Gallery, Madrid. He also exhibited at the Santa Fe Gallery (Madrid). After completing his studies he settled in Paris in 1956, with a scholarship that allowed him to study avant-garde painting, which did not prevent him from maintaining his contacts with the group of painters who later they would form a group El Paso. He is influenced by automatism and material painting In 1957 he participated as the founder of the El Paso group. Feito’s painting at this time is influenced by automatism, with material surfaces in white, black and ocher colors, made with a mixture of oil and sand. [Citation needed] Starting in 1962, he introduced the color red with counterpoint in his paintings and a year later his work tends towards an increasing formal and material simplification, with predominantly circular motifs. In 1970 the fullness of color was imposed and since 1975 there has been a trend towards geometrization, which will culminate at the end of the decade in its refined stage of white squares.

In 1981, after leaving Paris, he moved to Montreal for a period of two years. Later, in 1983 he moved to New York, where he resided and worked until the early nineties. He obtained the distinction of Officer of Arts and Letters of France 1985, Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters of France 1993, the Gold Medal of Fine Arts 1998. He was also elected member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando (Madrid).
