Verónica Leándrez, multidisciplinary artist
Art is the highest human expression and life itself should be considered our most important work of art. With more than 30 years of diverse studies and practices (i.e. painting, drawing, design, yoga, karate, scenography, video, writing, performance, etc…) I consider that my life would be nothing without my creative exploration.
“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
