Artist Leon Devence
Leon
Devenice is an award-winning American artist painter whose unique work portrays
nature’s majestic beauty. His art often depicts the glorious richness of
alfresco living and is lauded for its sense of romance and passion. Unafraid to
incorporate bold colors, Leon speaks the language of vitality and sensuality
with his incredible landscapes and painted scenes.Born in New York, Leon
Devenice showed talent as a young boy. But a tragic accident would change Leon
forever and ultimately pave the way for his success as an artist. Struck by a
drunk driver, both of Leon’s parents were killed and Leon left alone
hospitalized with paralysis for months. But while in the hospital, kind staff
members introduced Leon to the beauty and therapeutic benefits of painting. His long recovery was aided by this creative
outlet and sparked a burning desire to paint and explore the beauty of colors.He
continued to paint and develop his signature style—his natural-born talent
becoming more and more evident. After college, Leon enrolled in the Athens
School of Fine Arts where he would complete his formal education. Traveling
after graduation would allow Leon to take his art and professional career to
the next level. He spent time in Australia, Italy, France, Spain and much of
Europe honing his style and taking on high profile projects. While abroad, he
was commissioned to design Villa interiors throughout Europe with murals and
decorative finishes. And, he was chosen to decorate numerous interiors of
Orthodox Churches throughout the Greek Islands.
