” Let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing” Kahlil Gibran. One of the things I admired the most about the Emirati culture is their vision for the future and their love for traditions. My philosophy of life is to be present, looking at the past with gratitude for its lessons and to the future with hope for what its’ yet to come. Photo ref. courtesy of @ Donell Gumiran

I believe that the universal language of the arts can break through cultural and personal barriers bringing us closer together as human beings. I was raised by a strong and loving community of women. They have been a big influence throughout my life. Common themes represented in my work are cultural diversity, gender equality, race and the empowerment of women. I offer my perspective about the characters that I portray that remain close to my heart. Portraying the uniqueness and strength of the individual allows me to speak to the sameness of our humanity in parallel to the beauty of our cultural differences. I do this with a deep sense of respect and admiration for the characters I choose to portray. As a Latino living in the US half of my life creating my own identity has become one of the many challenges in my artworks. Things like education, family, money, politics, religion, and sex; all these topics have affected my life and career. All those things help to define who we are; But, our nature is complex and should not be a label for the social need to look for acceptance. I think we all are multi-dimensional. I always admired beauty, but not only in the obvious stereotype. I always find beauty in the oddest of subjects. Color, lines, composition, and style are important things to consider when I chose an image or character to portray. As years passed by, I have found my inner voice. I believed that what makes us equal is that we are all different. Leonardo Montoya
