luis cornejo

With sold out shows in 2007, 2008 and 2010, Cornejo’s ability to masterfully combine acrylic and oil to fuse hyperrealism with a highly stylized, flat 2-dimentional style has been duly noted. Cornejo  has exhibited individually and collectively in Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Mexico, Canada and Germany. Cornejo’s career has skyrocketed in recent years, with a one year paid scholarship to Berlin (2009-10), top awards from the Museum of Art , MARTE in 2008 a well as the National Art Awards in 2003 and 2001.
