Leo de la O, between document and dream

The landscapes that Leo de la O depicts start from the document and are materialized in a relatively unreal environment. It is the scope of memory, nostalgia, which has so much to do with dreaming.

Over a photograph, the artist superimposes layers of a relatively abstract vocation, which are what ultimately round out the atmosphere.

The metaphor is beautiful: this is how our memories operate in some way, nuanced by the mist of time.

Leo de la O proposes a very intimate journey, from shared references. His works are ultimately an invitation: the spectator will be able to accommodate his or her own vision of the context, his or her notions of history... from certain guidelines that the artist provides.

In the end, history is not an accurate science: it is a malleable construction.

In the virtual gallery ArteMorfosis there is a comprehensive dossier on the artist:
