GIVE BACK TO THE WORLD In closed in my study, while working deeply on the creation of this piece, I thought of "human" beings who only look at themselves, without taking into account the result of their actions or words, regardless of the damage they can do, it only matters whether they feel good or achieve their goals at any cost. Solidarity, associationism, ecology, etc ... are hollow words for the ears of these characters, who roam the planet under a fictitious security and a mask that covers the reality of their authentic being. The sculpture is made up of a 200 x 400 x 400 cm cube-metal that on its upper part we can see two seated figures with their backs to each other without being aware that one is very close to the other, these two figures are made In a lambre, the whole of the piece I have been exposed to the weather so that the metal fence developing a rusty patina that gives it a very special natural color. To send the piece, it is first wrapped with a thin layer of acid-free paper, then covered with bubble wrap so that the piece is highly protected. At the end of these two packaging processes, I build an exclusive box for work, made of wood capable of withstanding possible transport incidents and ensuring that the work reaches your hands in perfect condition. Measurements of the piece: 235 x 63 x 50 cm.

Hi my name is David León, also known as @ds.leon, I am a multidisciplinary artist with a primary focus on figurative sculpture and also have experience in painting. My story began on a stormy night in the summer of 1979 in Barcelona when a 21-year-old woman gave birth to her first child, a small, big-headed, and hairy boy. I studied in different traditional private schools, where "donkey, the letter only enters with blood" was the motto. Throughout those years, I was humiliated and mistreated, which led me to hide my connection with the plastic arts out of shame and embarrassment. At the age of 14, my mother, after spending a fortune on "RUBIO" handwriting notebooks, decided to take me to a psychologist. Yes, I had dyslexia, so I couldn't write or draw, let alone read. With that diagnosis, a new chapter of my life began: a teacher taught me how to write again. I continued my high school studies and graduated as a Technician in Metal Construction. During those years, the explosion of rap and graffiti took place, which captivated me. In 1994, Montana Colors arrived in paint stores, and armed with the most colorful sprays of the time, I started painting walls like crazy. Although my artwork was not very good, I continued to do it impulsively because I felt an internal need to express myself. Some considered me an artist, but for others, I was simply a vandal dirtying the walls of Barcelona. The years passed, and punk conquered me: the music, the concerts, the libertarian collectives, the squats... They kept me away from the art world for some time. It was another way to express myself to a society that not long ago had emerged from a dictatorship. This time, the materials and mediums were the same, but the colors and messages were different: blacks, reds, and yellows. It was a rebellious youth filled with demands for labor rights, gender equality, discontent with wars and hard drugs, among other things. Following my curiosity and need to express what I feel, my unique way of seeing life and what surrounds me, the day came when I transitioned from the street to exhibition halls to explain and share my story and concerns with a different kind of audience through art.
