Leona Rose, a rising star of contemporary painting, was born under the generous skies of the South of France. She draws her creative essence from the representation of the sun, a central element of her universe.

Her art is a carnival of color and dance on walls and canvases, unfurling vibrant frescoes that captivate the eye. She does not just paint; her talent extends to interior design and the creation of illustrations for renowned brands. Her work manifests on a variety of mediums, from furniture to art objects.

Tropical atmospheres and dreamlike reveries shape the heart of her inspirations, while her style, both raw and spontaneous, bears witness to a deep intuition that has guided her hand since her very first brushstrokes.

A self-taught artist, Leona Rose has carved her own path in the art world, brilliantly mastering the techniques of acrylic, Posca, and Rotring. Her wandering soul, an incessant quest for discovery, is reflected in her creations, a harmonious blend of influences drawn from primitive Mexican and Berber art, naive painting, and the legacy of artistic giants such as Henri Rousseau, Frida Kahlo, and Matisse.

On Instagram, she gathers a loyal and engaged community of over 254,000 people, a vibrant testament to the impact of her art. Her career is marked by remarkable exhibitions, including the revealing (Hi)story! at the Slow Galerie in 2018 and the solo show Popical Dream - Fragments at the Galerie Joseph in 2021, each unveiling a facet of her richly woven universe, a world where every work is a doorway into a waking dream.

Léona collaborates with LE CARTEL for the first time in 2024 as part of the collective textile exhibition “Paris est une fête”.
