Artist Statement:
Postromanticism: The Art of
Passion
Postromanticism is a
contemporary artistic movement
that places passion at the
center of human life, art and
poetry. In painting and
sculpture it emphasizes
representational art that
depicts the beauty of human
figures and evokes sensuality
and the richness of human
emotions...
Leonardo Pereznieto harks us
back to the motifs of
romanticism: the muse, the
angel--which are evocative and
beautiful in their own right
only to reshape them to our
dreams; to make them palatable
for our world. He captures the
beauty of youth, only to endow
it with its own thoughts and
dreams. He captures the pose
and delicacy of femininity,
only to allow women to fly
towards their own visions.
Leonardo´s art expresses the
hopes and promises of our
postromanticism.

| Your Personal Biography |
Leonardo Pereznieto is co-founder of the new cultural movement of postromanticism, together with professor Claudia Moscovici of the University of Michigan. His work has a life-like quality, which is nevertheless full of imagination and fancy; a delicate sensual touch; a passionate sense of the spirituality of earthly existence.
Has been awarded by the International Art Festival in NY City, received the Mozart Prize for the Arts in Nice, France, and was given the gold medal at the Italy Award for Visual Arts.
From his early years Leonardo began an interesting international career. Youngest son of the famous painter Fernando Pereznieto and the writer and classical guitarist Corazón Otero, he was raised in an artistic and cultural environment, and was given the great opportunity of studying in three countries: Mexico, Italy and the United States.
With his father as his professor, since he was a very young boy he learned different techniques. In fact, he was painting watercolors before he even knew how to talk and walk. He began to master many other techniques like etching, lithography, serigraphy and oil painting. He had his first painting exhibit when he was 8 at the “Goya Gallery” in Mexico City, then he presented his work in many other international galleries, in Paris, Florence, London, Los Angeles, Montecarlo, etc.
