Leon ALEGRIA
Self-taught draughtsman, painter and printmaker.
I began to draw at 13, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch´s paintings.
My whole work is characterized by a poetic use of imagery, in which themes such as nostalgia, enigma, eroticism and myth are explored, sometimes in connection with ancient legends... sometimes based on the contrast of the real and the fantastic....
Initially my work was figurative, but it developed towards a more abstract style. Lately figurative elements are re-emerging as symbolic compositions.
