Biography: Luis Filcer was born in 1927 in Zhitomir, Ukraine. To escape the pogroms, his family left Russia when he was six months old to settle in Mexico. He began his painting studies at the most important art school in Mexico, the Academia de San Carlos, when he was 17 years old, and later studied at the private school of the renowned teacher José Bandasano. In 1949 he won the silver medal in his first participation in a competition for Mexican painting, and subsequently won a gold medal twice in 1950 and 1953. He represented Mexico in three biennials, in Chile, Japan, and England. It is also during this period that he receives a Mexican scholarship to work at various art academies in France, Italy and the Netherlands for two years. He also participates in one of the most important group exhibitions organized by the Palace of Fine Arts Museum "Masterpieces of Mexican Art", which travels around the world for 15 years. Filcer continued to travel to Europe and settled in the Netherlands for a period of twenty years, but he continued to return to Mexico and many other countries to hold his many exhibitions. In 1988 he took part in a group exhibition "Twenty Expressionist Artists" at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 1990 he exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City on the occasion of the museum's 25th anniversary. In 1994 he had his largest exhibition to date at the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of Mexico City. This museum is the largest in Latin America, with its 2500 m2 exhibition space, in which the work of many years is exhibited. Today he lives in Mexico, but he continues to travel to attend his exhibitions. The number of his exhibitions has now exceeded 200. He depicts the contradictions in man on social, economic and religious levels. He loves to paint his own experiences of everyday life and is always looking for a better future.
