1975
About the Item
Leuus’s interest in art began at a young age, and he later moved to Guadalajara, where he attended the Escuela de Artes Plásticas. This formal training in the traditions of Mexican art provided him with a solid foundation in the techniques and themes that have long defined Mexican visual culture. However, his work soon evolved beyond traditional styles, embracing modernist elements and abstract expression, which allowed him to explore deeper emotional and psychological dimensions.
The Mexican muralist movement, particularly the works of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco, played a crucial role in shaping Leuus’s artistic vision. These artists had elevated the importance of social and political messages in art, using their murals to communicate revolutionary ideas. Although Leuus did not follow their path of large-scale muralism, he adopted their belief in the power of art to reflect and influence society. His work, while more intimate in scale, retains a similar focus on the human condition, Mexican identity, and the struggle for justice.
Jesús Mariano Leuus’s artistic style can be described as a fusion of figuration and abstraction, often characterized by bold colors and expressive forms. His work frequently revolves around the human figure, particularly women, whom he depicts with a sense of both strength and vulnerability. These figures are not rendered with precise realism, but rather with a more abstract, symbolic approach that emphasizes emotional depth and internal states.
One of the defining features of Leuus’s paintings is his use of color. His palette is vivid and intense, with rich reds, deep blues, and earthy yellows that evoke the landscapes and cultural heritage of Mexico. These colors are not only visually striking but also imbued with symbolic meaning, reflecting the emotional and spiritual content of the work. His use of color has often been compared to that of the great Mexican colorists such as Rufino Tamayo, whose influence is evident in Leuus’s ability to convey complex ideas and emotions through simple, powerful hues.
Leuus’s work is deeply connected to his Mexican heritage, and many of his paintings reflect a dialogue with the traditions and history of his country. His interest in Mexican identity is expressed through his use of iconography and themes that resonate with the country’s indigenous and colonial past. His work is celebrated not only for its technical mastery but also for its emotional and cultural resonance. Over the years, Leuus has held numerous exhibitions in Mexico and internationally, garnering recognition for his ability to capture the essence of Mexican life and identity through his art.
Leuus’s contributions to modern Mexican art are significant, and his work continues to inspire new generations of artists and art lovers alike.
