By Leo Matiz
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Black and white photographs that reveal the various facets and aesthetic searches of the legendary Colombian photographer, recognized as the creator of memorable realistic, abstract and avant-garde images. They turned Leo Matiz into one of the most original and innovative personalities of universal photography in the 20th century.
Leo Matiz is considered one of the tenth most influential photographers of the 20th century. His work as a photojournalist led him to travel extensively around the world, meeting and making friends with some of the most relevant figures of the 20th century. Matiz was an artist who never waited for beauty to come looking for him. He looked for her with his camera, wherever she was, whether it was the face of a child lost on a city street, a landscape, architectural wonders or the now famous portraits of the legendary artist Frida Kahlo.
