About the Book
Roots are a way to allocate, to attach and to do
absorption by making uncertain paths to the base
for what needs to flourish, born and exist.
For a human being roots have two meanings,
heredity and place to settle to create new ones, giving
continuity to new paths. The direction that the works
of the artist Leo Macias has taken so far originates
from all his history crossed by a path of inspiration
and the continuous formatting of his ancestral roots.
In constant evolutionary movement, his works have
no ending, no perfection, no full stop and have beauty,
playfulness, origins, permanence.
As a road without arrival, with unexpected directions,
among all his techniques: creativity, sizes, models,
diversity, multiplicity of colors, it seems that in fact,
all his trajectory will be always beginning.
Using hands to plant roots and feet to follow the path.

About the Creator
Colombian who lived for 2o years in Brazil, returned to Colombia for another 3 years and currently lives in New York. His artistic inspiration comes from his childhood where he grew up with a Catholic family of artists with Spanish heritage. His grandfather used to make sculptures in clay and wood in accidentally disproportionate shapes, such as hands and feet. Meanwhile her grandmother devoted herself to painting on unconventional surfaces making collages with lace and fabrics. Both were always inspired by Baroque elements in their work, as well as churches, saints, and altars. The exploration of colors in harmony with tridimensional materials such as foams, acrylics, rubbers, wood, fabrics and leather provide an incredible look to the unusual. Constantly evolving and always bold, the artist Leo Macias, in his exhibitions, manages to provoke a discussion of what is presented by his theatrical perspective and occupy a space within contemporary art.
