ABOUT THE ARTIST
Leon Chartarifsky was raised in Mexico City from parents fleeing communism in
Europe.
From early childhood he showed great interest in painting. He studied the
harmony of colors and the vision of space.
These studies were instrumental in shaping up his vision of nature and, in doing
so, his imagination to create vibrating and emotional works of art that blend areas
of pure texture and color with otherwise still forms of natural objects.
Leon Chartarifsky is definitely a pioneer. His talent creates a space that leads to an
interpretation of the universe, as forms are pulled and twisted into continuous
chromatic bonfire.
This is the tribute that the artist gives to each of his creations!
