Léo Galamez is a painter of plant abstraction inspired by the creation of living things.

Léo Galamez, born in 1979 in Pas de Calais, lives and works in Lille. A painter from childhood, he hesitated to pursue a career in the fine arts, opting instead to study medicine. It was during his residency that he picked up his brushes again, never to let them go.
Léo Galamez’s painting is inspired by the creation of the living. How does a seed become a plant? How does a cell become a human body? Where do these shapes and harmony in nature come from?
Having grown up in the marshes of the Audomarois region, the setting was set amidst a privileged flora and fauna. His medical studies then enabled him to observe and study the human body from the inside.

Leo Galamez creates works that are free and colorful, instinctive and structured.
Léo Galamez’s painting is sometimes abstract, sometimes figurative, sometimes improvised, sometimes mastered. She’s always strong and delicate, obsessive and haunting. Like life itself, Léo GALAMEZ’s writing develops spontaneously and instinctively, yet structures and grammar emerge in an attempt to order and model pure chance. This demiurgic work between creation and mastery reflects his fascination with the diversity of biological creation, so mysterious and so perfect.
Behind the teeming, the unstable, the repetitive, the indistinct, the chaotic, it’s the sublime of life as matrix, as mysterious necessity, that Léo Galamez tries to capture and fathom.
