Dante Luiz

In a review for the 2020 graphic novel CREMA, Christopher Lytal of Library Journal praised Luiz's "expressive, understated art" and called it "by turns gorgeous and grotesque."^[2] Publishers Weekly praised the teamwork between Christmas and Luiz, concluding that the graphic novel is "as satisfying as a just-made café con leche."^[3]

In a 2021 review for Locus, Karen Burnham reviewed the short story "My Mother's Hand." The story recounts the tale of a trans man who is possessed by the ghost of his abusive mother. The mother is disappointed that her son gave up his feminine magic to become a sailor. Burnham concluded that the protagonist "springs to life on the page, taking a largely epistolic historical tale and imbuing it with animation and humor."^[4] The story was later included on the 2021 Locus Recommended Reading List.^[5]

In 2022, Luiz was awarded an Otherwise Fellowship, in part for his story "My Mother's Hand."^[6]

In a 2025 interview with Nightmare Magazine, Luiz discussed his love of telenovelas and his fascination with lost media. He also discussed the way in which the 2021 Cinemateca Brasileira fire and the Final Destination franchise inspired his 2025 short story "The Short History of a Long-Forgotten, Ill-Fated Telenovela."^[7]

As of 2026, Luiz is the Art Director for Strange Horizons.^[8]
