Leonel Matheu
Leonel Matheu was born in Havana, Cuba on October 2, 1967. He graduated at the Institute of Graphic Design of Havana, 1987. In 1992 he settled in Miami, Florida, U.S.A.
Matheu’s work narrates events of the modern world, where custom and technology intersect.

There is where his iconography, akin to modern minimalist graphics, is brought face to face with, and transformed by primitive symbols from the ancient world.
Articles about Matheu appeared in Art in America, Art Nexus, Arte al Dia Internacional, Vanidades, Seis Continentes, The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, Sarasota Herald, The Gainsville Sun, Listin Diario, American Style, as well as many other national and international publications.
His most recent principal exhibitions had taken place at Dot Fiftyone Gallery at Wynwood Art District in Miami, Lyle O’Reitzel galleri in Santo Domi
