Leo Macias


New York
À propos

Colombian who lived for 2o years in Brazil, returned to Colombia for another 3 years
and currently lives in New York. His artistic inspiration comes from his childhood
where he grew up with a Catholic family of artists with Spanish heritage.
His grandfather used to make sculptures in clay and wood in accidentally
disproportionate shapes, such as hands and feet. Meanwhile her grandmother
devoted herself to painting on unconventional surfaces making collages
with lace and fabrics. Both were always inspired by Baroque elements
in their work, as well as churches, saints, and altars.
The exploration of colors in harmony with tridimensional materials such as foams,
acrylics, rubbers, wood, fabrics and leather provide an incredible look to the unusual.
Constantly evolving and always bold, the artist Leo Macias, in his exhibitions,
manages to provoke a discussion of what is presented by his theatrical
perspective and occupy a space within contemporary art.
