I present to you my third guest artist: El Maestro Leonel Maciel.
I was about to present for the second time my exhibition Create the Movement in your life, at the French restaurant Le Pastis Bistro, a charming place (I highly recommend them), a place that I got to know thanks to a great person and great artist Painter Mr. Germán Hernández . rest in peace.
His Host Mr. David Colliard, who is a great person, helped me and gave me the opportunity to exhibit my work there, through him I met Master Leonel Maciel, I already knew a little about his work, but I did not know him In person, he introduced me to him, I exchanged a few words with him and took the opportunity to ask him to do me the honor of sponsoring my exhibition and he accepted, :) The presentation of my exhibition was a beautiful ritual. I loved.
But hey, here I leave you a bit of his work and a small profile of his personal and artistic life, sent by him, so that they know a little more about him.
Leonel Maciel Sánchez
The Master tells us: I was born at 5 in the morning, on March 21, 1939 in solitude in Maciel, municipality of Petatlán, Guerrero, only that the designs of the authorities never adhere to reality, so it is on a pure whim The military decided that I was born on April 21, 1938, being forced to carry one more year, that if with a lot of style and dignity.
At the age of 9 my sacrosanct and self-sacrificing parents decided to get rid of me by sending me to study in Mexico City, so that I could cultivate, at one of the boarding schools founded by Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas, boarding school number 2, "sons of the army" , finished in this elementary school, I do my secondary studies in the Rafael boarding school where, to later enroll in the high school number 5, located in Coapa, where I only stayed 2 or 3 semesters more or less, I realized that this type of study it wasn't my thing.
Dedicating myself to vagrancy without rhyme or reason, one day the steps unintentionally took me to the painting and sculpture school "La Esmeralda", would that be the destination where you decide to enroll? The truth is that I did it to kill time while telling me or not, I don't know that without realizing it they roasted for 5 years, without wanting to, I was enrolled in this ART adventure "what things, right? Surprises in your life." I never thought that I was going to dedicate myself to this trade so here ladies and gentlemen have me painting happy and removed from pain and in truth it is said, I am not bad at all
