I am a passionate artist with a deep appreciation and respect for nature and what has been given to us to preserve and protect... Our planet Earth. Nature is what I love to portray every time I’m in front of a canvas or a piece of steel.
-Leo J. Cruz
About Leo
Born in Costa Rica in 1989, Leo is one of seven siblings. His art is inspired by nature and a childhood full of life, which nourished his natural talent while he observed and lived unique experiences at his parents' farm. There, they grew their own food and shared a humble table, instilling a simple but powerful lust for life that would later nurture their goals and endeavors.
As he grew and his talent became evident, Leo’s dad noticed his sons passion for painting natural sceneries and animals. From time to time, Leo’s dad would get him a large drawing book and art supplies and ask him to draw one of his cows.
Later, Leo was fortunate to be part of the Santa Grafica Academy of Art in Costa Rica, where he learned drawing techniques and continued to paint, specializing in oils.
Today, we see Leo as an exceptional home designer and builder. He applies his knowledge and creativity in the building industry at his family’s firm, Cruz Brothers Construction, and ONDA Design and Architecture. While being a husband and father of four, he finds time to immerse himself in what he calls "my Leo time" to create his paintings and large metal sculptures. These pursuits feed his soul and allow him to help others while doing what he loves.
My Inspiration
My inspiration comes from the beauty of nature, rooted in my childhood experiences on my parents' farm.
