Islandy León Aguila

Islandy León Aguila (b. 1982, Cuba) is a visual artist based in Barcelona. Working in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, he creates abstract paintings that draw on abstract expressionism and are influenced by nature, human experience, macro and micro worlds, and astrophotography. His work examines themes of parallel universes, using vivid color to evoke sensory and emotional states where dreams and reality intersect. León Aguila holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Arts (ISA), Havana (2007–2013), and trained in painting and illustration at the Leopoldo Romañach Professional Academy of Fine Arts in Villa Clara (2000–2004).
