Leonardo Partida Prieto is a Mexican self-taught plastic artist. He holds a Bachelor in Advertising and Marketing and it was during his college days that he began his career as an artist. He has created over 200 pieces and he continues to evolve with his creations. He is not afraid of exploring new challenging forms of expression in working with new materials and tools. Each of his art works have their own particular process and becomes a part of a permanent learning stage that prepares him for the next one.

His early art works were made mainly in acrylic on paper, using brushes and colour pencils, but now he is experimenting with mixed-media techniques that include the use of wood, pigments and resins among other materials. His style is very original, working with different layers and many colour tints to create powerful visual effects.
