Alejandro Leyva
“I use and abuse color saturating the entire surface of the canvas, contrasting primary and complementary colors which I mix with oils, acrylics, crayons and pastels to give life to figurative forms which are derived from life itself. I refuse to use the traditional “natural” places in my work, however I am always eager to explore more of the emotional aspects of human form such as anxiety, fear, innocence or guilt; creating ambiguity in interpretation. My goal is to connect with the viewer, transmitting an alternative explanation to humanity using erotic symbols that suggest conflicts such as secrets and taboos found in our societies. ’
