Leonardo Nierman biography
Leonardo Nierman
was born in Mexico City
on November 1, 1932. As a child, he was convinced that music was
his true calling and dedicated himself to studying the violin.
However, after listening to a recording of himself playing in concert,
he decided that he was not talented enough to pursue music and turned
to art instead. Nierman, on his artist site, states that music
influenced his art greatly. He states, “Music and painting
are very much alike – both have tonalities, rhythms,
high-intensity areas, and resting areas.
Nierman first
viewed art only as a hobby and continued to study business in school.
He graduated from the Accounting
School of the
Autonomous University of Mexico with a Bachelors Degree in business in
1951, but soon after dedicated himself to painting. He is best
known for his abstract landscape paintings, full of color and movement
and often cosmic or terrestrial in nature. In 1972, he had a
major exhibition at the Museum
of Modern Art in Mexico City and from that time on has had
exhibition venues throughout the world including the United States, Italy, Israel,
Australia, Spain and Japan.
