Leon is a self-taught graphic designer and photographer that lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. He started his career in graphics.
A art collective focused on conveying distinctly South African and African stories through visual arts and illustrations.
In his personal work, Leon focuses on telling familiar stories that are relatable. His work still strives to allow Africa to tell its own stories.
understanding that every person has a story and that story is worth capturing or illustrating has shaped my work. Interacting with people via my lens and art gives me a new language through which to express my emotions - pain, joy, sadness, forgiveness - without having to necessarily articulate those emotions in words.
