Leonel Valdés approaches painting as a space of transformation, movement, and presence. In his work, landscape no longer appears as a fixed place, but as a field of energy unfolding through perception and color. Rooted in the experience of travel, in lived journeys, and in an intuition shaped within the intimacy of the studio, his paintings evoke states of transformation, stillness, and inner resonance through layers of color, contrast, and transparency. Each work becomes a space of transition, where the image is continuously formed and undone, carrying within it multiple temporalities, tensions, and states of emergence. Rather than depicting a landscape, Valdés follows the forces that move through it: vibration, displacement, friction, and light.
