Artivist Leonor Anthony
LEONOR ANTHONY is a multi-disciplinary artist and activist based in Miami. Born in Havana, Cuba, she immigrated to the United States with her family as a young child. She is an accredited scholar, artist, photographer, and published author. Anthony is well-known for her courageous use of materials and for creating works that engage controversial issues.
She is recognized for using art as a vehicle of activism. She explores limitless styles, materials, and assertiveness — characterized by violently expressive color and jarring compositions. Through these elements, Anthony is able to bring awareness to issues that include immigration, women’s empowerment, and environmental preservation, The imagery of her art is crafted through her unflinching willingness to elicit emotional reactions. Her intense but sophisticated style is a reflection of the artist’s unending search for freedom of expression and penchant towards iconoclasm.
Anthony co-authored Sounds of Freedom with photographer Roberto Polillo.
