Collection: Léon Licea

I grew up on the outskirts of Stockholm with roots in Cuba, a dual belonging that shapes my, openness, and understanding of culture and community. Relationships, love, and human connection are my greatest driving forces. The improvisation and emotion of music, from jazz and soul, reflect my depth and passion for authenticity.

I am studying Graphic Design at Linköping University and have a background in social sciences and art, which gives me both an analytical perspective and a creative voice. My art mirrors life’s contrasts: love and wounds, light and darkness, community and exclusion.

I work with acrylic, watercolor, colored pencils, and embroidery to create tactile pieces where color, line, and material interact. Moving forward, I also want to explore ceramics and allow threads to move more freely within my work.
