Artist Biography

“Art is having an emotional experience that somehow transfer to canvas”

Leonard Gabriel's art is immersed in the essence of human emotion through body language.

This exploration has been shaped by his training at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Kolbermoor, Germany and his residency at Mana Contemporary in New York City.

His figurative approach transcends the merely representative and instead seeks to communicate emotions beyond what is portrayed.

In his exhibitions, from the Paris Art Fair to the galleries of Madrid and San Miguel de Allende, Leonard Gabriel captivates the viewer with works that capture intimate moments.

In his most recent work, a woman immersed in reading becomes the canvas of emotion. Barely tracing the contours of her fingers, he subtly suggests a gesture that reveals more than he describes, immersing the observer in an inner world where stillness becomes an expression of emotional depth.

Leonard Gabriel blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract, inviting the viewer to explore the complexity of the human experience through his brushstrokes full of meaning
