Reception Saturday, October 11th, 5-7PM
San Antonio–based artist Louis Vega Treviño brings a unique vision that bridges the worlds of architecture and fine art. Originally trained in architecture at San Antonio College, Treviño worked as a designer at Kell Muñoz Architects from 1992 to 2000 before fully dedicating himself to painting and drawing. His architectural background continues to inform his work, which is characterized by precision, geometry, and an extraordinary sensitivity to color.
Treviño’s artistic journey began with thousands of sketches on cocktail napkins, a spontaneous practice that grew into a lifelong exploration of line and form. Over the years, he has expanded his material range to include oil on canvas, museum board, Post-it notes, and even large-scale textile and tile designs. His minimalist works deconstruct line and color into rhythmic, meditative compositions that balance analytical rigor with emotional vibrancy.
His art has been featured in public installations, including building facades in San Antonio’s Main Plaza and designs for the San Antonio Convention Center. He has exhibited nationally in spaces such as Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, Mexic-Arte Museum, and Rosenbaum Contemporary, and he currently maintains his studio practice at Hausmann Millworks in San Antonio.
