ART
Ramon Leon is a highly skilled illustrator who possesses a profound fascination for the artistic world. Growing up in Caracas, Venezuela, as the son of a painter, he was immersed in a creative environment from a very young age. Surrounded by art, Leon developed a heightened sensitivity for the visual experience, which greatly influenced his artistic journey.
Ramon's artistic journey began during his teenage years when he started drawing "Fantasmas" (Ghosts) and "Caras Largas" (Long Faces). This initial fascination has remained a constant throughout his life, fueling his creativity and resulting in an extraordinary body of work. Ramon's dedication to his craft has led him to continuously explore and push the boundaries of his artistic expression.
“Through my high school and college years, drawing “Fantasmas” and “Caras Largas” served as a creative outlet, allowing me to express myself and explore the depths of my imagination. They were more than just sketches on paper; they represented a piece of my soul that yearned for artistic expression and self-discovery that contribute to develop my profesional career as a designer and visual artist”
Over the course of the past five years, he had devoted himself to a steady work ethic, constantly refining his artistic abilities and nurturing a deep sense of security and ownership over his distinct style.
