BIOGRAPHY
Leo López is a Mexican-American artist based in New York City. In his creative practice, Leo uses a wide range of media including: makeup, ink, mirror, crystals, and readymade objects that Leo finds in daily life. Through compositions that mix media, forms, styles, and color, Leo’s art ponders concepts such as mindfulness, environmentalism, globalism, and cosmology. In one of his continuing series, “Cosmic Daydream,” Leo’s art takes viewers on a colorful journey through deep space, full of nebulas, galaxies, comets, aliens, and the very essence of our existence in space-time. Leo earned a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has completed four triathlons, and has traveled to over 30 countries and territories.

STATEMENT
I hope you enjoy these two works, “Yin Yang” and “Mini Meditation” which are inspired by my mindfulness practice. “Yin Yang” displays a vibrant balance of color on a circular canvas whose orientation can potentially rotate 360 degree. “Mini Meditation” is a smaller version of the larger original, “Meditation” whose pure white texture is a reflection of our own brain waves which are a frequency of our thought process and existence.
