About Darwin Leon
Darwin Leon was born in 1972 in Santiago de las Vegas a small town in Havana, Cuba. In 1987, Leon's family sought refuge from the political and economical crisis in Cuba, and departed to Spain, then later continued to the United States to settle in Miami. Leon earned his Bachelors in Fine Arts from Miami International University of Art & Design, where he attended as a recipient of the 'Visual Arts Scholarship Award of Excellence' and received Best in Show at his first Juried Student Exhibition. His first direction was expressed through religious portraits. However, he found a greater enthusiasm for figurative and expressionistic forms in which he incorporated satire and irony through surrealism and cubism. Leon's work is energetic, fresh, alive and abundant with color.

My Background
I use different mediums, such as oils, acrylics, graphite, chalk, and ink. Working in a single medium restricts my artistic process, as each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My art combines aspects of the masters of the Renaissance, including the technique of chiaroscuro, with my surreal style, which I refer to as Expressionistic Surrealism. Scenic images portray the nature of expressive design through the movement of action and textured aspects. With a sharp sense of humor and figurative imagination, I detail the social context of pseudo-political, human involvement with a gift for enhanced form and characterization. Displaying the imbalances of society with a satirical perspective, my artistic creations animate the discontinuities of the post industrial order. My paintings play on the interpersonal deceptions that move a society.
