Luis Angel Leiva is a contemporary Cuban painter currently based in the USA, Miami, Florida. From a young age, he found himself captivated by the world of images, expressing his fascination by sketching anything that caught his attention. His formal art education took place at the Academy of Visual Arts in Santa Clara, where he immersed himself in modern techniques and styles, with a particular focus on studying the works of the great masters of international painting.

The thematic focus of Leiva's work revolves around the nude as a form of representation, emphasizing the contrast between beauty and violence. He skillfully employs gestures of color and employs an academic technique to capture the lightness of female forms. In his pursuit of artistic expression, Leiva seeks decontextualization, aiming for a provocation that stimulates the viewer's thoughts. His art generates symbolic connections that evoke possible experiences or memories, creating a sense of déjà vu. Luis Angel Leiva's work goes beyond traditional representation, aiming to engage the audience intellectually and emotionally, provoking contemplation and sparking connections with the narratives he presents on canvas.
