“Mi Gente,” Leonor Anthony

This piece is part of the collection “El Vuelo de la Semilla (The Flight of the Seed).” It is inspired by my personal experience as a Cuban immigrant. Having left Cuba as a 5-year-old child, my roots were severed but not erased. These are my people. They are textured, nuanced, worn out, real—but filled with life and soul; simple in their elegance and beauty. This is my homage to them.

Leonor’s preferred mediums are oil on canvas, charcoal drawings, digital art and mixed media. The imagery of her art is crafted with unprecedented assertiveness, a combination of refined, complex and loose brush strokes, characterized by violently expressive color and jarring compositions that elicit vivid emotional reactions.

Leonor is the Artist in Residence of the Florida International University’s Honors College. Her work is collected and exhibited in Asia (Beijing Expo 2012-2013, and Seoul Open Art Fair 2013, 2014), in Europe (Paris, Liege, Rome and The Netherlands), in the U.S. and Mexico. She is represented by Viota Gallery in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Simons Gallery in Mexico City and Miami.

Her work will be exhibited in the Carrousel du Louvre in October and was chosen for the Palermo Biennale in 2015.
