Artist Bio: Leo Rebolledo (1980), self-taught architect and painter born in Santiago de Chile, in the middle of the military dictatorship of Pinochet. Due to the scarcity of culture and art in his environment during this turbulent political and social climate, as a child Leo began to collect clippings of paintings by the great Masters of Art History which he later tried to reproduce as faithfully as possible. From a very early age, he began to paint with all the materials he could find. Using his school's oil pastel crayons, rubbing them on pieces of cardboard or wood, he tried to imitate the finish of oil on canvas. This curiosity and interest in understanding these basic materials turned into years of experimentation that resulted in the development of his own unique and unconventional technique.
Leo's decision to study Architecture brought him closer to art at a higher level. As a result of his professional training, Leo developed a fascination with light, shape, and space. These concepts are implicit in his pictorial work and take center stage in his compositions.
Leo's work has been awarded several prizes in important competitions in California and New York. He has permanently settled in the city of New Haven, Connecticut, where he continues to develop and perfect his work.
