Biography
Born and raised in Rhode Island, Chilean-American Angel Leiva has always been interested in digital illustration, photography, and painting. He has been influenced and inspired by his larger artistic family, whose members have had different career paths in the arts. Some of his family are professionals who have worked on comics, movies, animation, and illustration. His work showcases an abstract and simple style. Angel has dealt with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and anxiety throughout his life. Angel’s work stems from his personal experiences, allowing the viewer to better understand and empathize with the struggles of mental health. He draws on his experiences, creating what can be considered a weakness into a strength making this topic part of much of his artwork. His goal is to create spaces for deeper discussions on mental health.
Statement
I have always struggled with ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and anxiety. Through my work, I want to showcase the struggle with these conditions and how it affect me daily. I am passionate about destigmatizing mental health, spreading awareness on this sensitive topic, and creating a dialog with my audience.
