complemented with visits to the museums of art of the city and
painting classes with famous artists. He worked in lithographic
factories in Florence and Barcelona.
At the age of 17, he exhibited his "High Speed" collection of
automobile paintings at the "Continuous Dimensions" gallery in
Tijuana, Mexico. Due to the quality of his artwork he was contracted to
make some drawings for Volkswagen of Mexico and the Mexican Marine
Transportation and he participated in the design of the automobiles

philosophical technology. He has organized courses and seminars in the
prevention of drug abuse.
Leonardo is the founder of the "Concurso Nacional de Grafica",
dedicated to his father Fernando Pereznieto, and has lectured at the
University of Michigan and the Celebrity Centre Florence.
Leonardo Pereznieto´s exquisite sculptures and paintings play upon our
disavowed dreams, sensibilities and longings to persuade us to return
to some of the romantic ideals and motifs that modern art has, for the
most part, forsaken. Romanticism, but with a difference. His art
couples a nostalgia for romanticism with an acute sense of the needs
of modernity.
