LENO MORFIN
Leno Morfin is an internationally well-known talent born in the Sierra Madre of Jalisco whose work during the last 15 years has been exhibited worldwide. His paintings are an experience. A passionate abstract, ardent colours of oils and acrylics with a surprisingly light and fresh sensation of a real dream world. It´s been said that „Leno's canvas is a blind screen in the light of a universal projector“ and his paintings „windows not seen by a human eye“. You will not be able to stay neutral in front of the multiple games in abstract that the artist creates with joy and mastery.
As a child Leno had a passion for creation. His curiosity led him to explore his artistic nature in different kinds of trades like shoe making and fine carpentry, painting and sculpture. In 1970 at the age of sixteen, his family immigrated to the United States. For the next twenty years he took on many artistic challenges which always led him to painting. To this he quotes himself: “Life is like a toy store filled with many exciting toys, which makes it difficult to decide which one to choose. We almost forget, though, that within oneself we have the best toy we will ever own.”
In 1994, Mr. Louis Durot discovered Leno's artwork in Chicago. Since then Leno has been exhibiting his art throughout the world, in countries like China, France, Germany and Mexico and Estonia among others.
