About Léon

I have always had creativity in my life from when I grew up on the outskirts of Stockholm. I take inspiration from the improvisation and emotion of music such as jazz and soul. The movement in music and the strong colors are central in my paintings.

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.
