OMAR D'LEON

D'Leon's work is imbued with a mystical quality, one that knows abundance in paradise and the anguish of losing it, one that held the light of grace to find a way through fear and torture to be rewarded with pure vision and the ability to record it on canvas. He infuses echoes of the frescoes in Pompeii and classical Grecian ideas of philosophy, community and beauty. He imprints European Impressionistic painting imported to his country by his mentor with magical realism qualities that are essentially Nicaraguan.

Omar D’Leon (born Omar D’Leon Lacayo y Estrada in 1929 in Managua, Nicaragua) is a well-known Nicaraguan painter and poet.
D’Leon studied nine years at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Nicaragua under its director Rodrigo Penalba. His early inspiration were the frescos of Pompei, where he saw the use of cross-hatching and applied this technique to his love of the Impressionist school.
He founded a museum in Managua in 1970 named “Museo-Galeria 904". The museum’s collection encompassed the arts of Nicaragua from pre-Hispanic to contemporary. In the earthquake of December 1972, D’Leon’s museum and studio were partly destroyed and later ransacked, vandalized and robbed. After the Sandinistas took power in Nicaragua, he moved to Camarillo, California .
In 1982, one of his paintings was reproduced in the form of a UNICEF Stamp. His paintings are housed in many museum’s such as the Museum of Latin American Contemporary Art in Washington DC, at the Ponce Museum of Art in Puerto Rico, at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, Chicago Art Institute and the Cuevas Museum in Mexico City.
