Louis Carreon is a designer, an artist and a shining example of perseverance. He admits that he has a love-hate relationship with art, just as his pieces so blatantly state. However, that doesn't mean his pieces aren't thought provoking, captivating and passion-filled.

Love and Lust are his prevailing themes and one can conceive many other abstract theories while taking the time to appreciate his one-of-a-kind pieces.

His struggle with the L.A. nightlife in his younger years led to a brief incarceration, however his truth was found in those deep dark moments of solitude and this is reflected not only in his artwork, but also in his attitude.

Upon meeting Louis, one immediately feels at ease. Maybe it's because his aura is welcoming, non-judgmental and honest just as his artwork. Whatever the case may be, his authentic nature has spilled over not only on a canvas, but throughout Hollywood as well.

Kevin Connolly is a big fan, not only of Louis' artwork, but also of his guts, his gusto, passion and friendship. Kevin said that he was "proud of the way Louis has turned his life around" and admitted that "it's enjoyable to see Louis spend his time wisely."

Like a proud father, Connolly stood by a piece of Carreons' artwork and reflected on how thrilled he was for Louis' triumphs and the importance of "not giving up and working hard." Carreon is a perfect example of this philosophy and Kevin will be the first to admit that he is one of Louis' biggest fans.

Connolly isn't the only celebrity who has embraced Carreons' paintings; Paris Hilton, Adrian Grenier, Taryn Manning and Ricki Lake are just a few other notables of Hollywood society who supported Louis' recent For the Love of Honey exhibit at Uncle Buck's Gallery.

As a matter of fact, Ms. Hilton eloquently glided away with a very distinct piece of art that Louis specifically created with her in mind. She was honored and atingled about her new addition and wholeheartedly supports Carreons' creative endeavors whether it be his heartfelt paintings or inventive clothing designs.

Was anyone jealous? Well, if so, they can just commission him to make them a signature piece of their very own. Kevin Connolly confirmed that he will certainly decorate his casa with an original, wonder if the whole entourage will follow suit.

Louis' humility and openness about his past has created a certain admiration within the Hollywood community and opened new doors for him artistically. Since obviously Louis leads by example, maybe he will serve as an inspiration for Paris. It seems as if he already has, since as of late, she's been stating how it's important for the media to be concerned with broader, more pressing issues, like global warming. She's been more vocal about out her beliefs and is working in tandem with Adrian Grenier on a documentary focused on media culture which will surely contain a powerful statement.

Art inspires art and life's challenges make us stronger. We, at Young Hollywood support Mr. Carreons' vision and salute him for being such an incredible example of resilience and strength. You can find his paintings at www.louiscarreon.com and enjoy his bold, emotion-evoking paintings.
