Carmen Leon   Carmen Leon paints dreamlike scenes on large canvases.  Carmen's work contains narrative themes, mythology references,  and elements derived from her cultural heritage.  Her bold use of outline, and flattened regions of color resemble the work of Paul Cezanne. The self portrait above has a realistic theme, but a divine presence is hinted at in the form of a cherub in the painting's upper right, and the madonna-like qualities of the figure.

Carmen Leon's paintings reflect both the real and the magical.  Her palette combines a naturalistic range of color with the vibrant palette of latin painters and muralists.
