About this artwork
In this work, I seek to capture the serene nobility of the gorilla against an evocative sunset landscape. I used oil paint to blend the soft hues of the sky and the gorilla's vigorous figure, creating an emotional contrast between the peace of the natural environment and the thoughtful intensity of its gaze. This painting invites reflection on our connection with nature and wildlife, projecting an atmosphere of calm and introspection in any space…

Gustavo de León, born in Montevideo on October 23, 1956, is a Uruguayan painter.
I practiced different disciplines of painting and sculpture in my watercolorist mother's workshop throughout my teenage years.
In 1974, she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to work in a family business. In 2002, her work in the hotel industry took her to Machu Picchu, Cusco, Peru, alternating with trips to the Amazon rainforest and Lima. She returned to Buenos Aires in 2019, where she studied Fine Arts and began a sustained production of oil paintings on canvas, exploring different styles and materials. Between 2023 and 2025, she participated in several group exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Paris, Amsterdam, and Punta del Este, Uruguay.
