"Mirrors are strange," says Leonidas Zavaleta of this painting. "It is even stranger to see yourself in them. Imagine my surprise when I saw my face reflected in the luster of a cedar table. In its reds and browns I saw my face. It looked back, seeming as old as the table itself that has accompanied me through so many dinners." Titled "Mi Reflejo en mi Mesa de Cedro" in Spanish. Handmade by Leonidas Zavaleta Leonidas Zavaleta Mendoza is a person of great character - he is humble and noble. Born in Trujillo in 1948, he became a fulltime artist at the age of 20. His desire was to study medicine but due to financial difficulties, he was unable to pursue it. He turned to painting encouraged by his accomplishments in art when he used to go to school. Though he received some instruction in school, Zavaleta is mostly a self-taught, intuitive artist. He is attracted by neo-figurative art, abstract expressionism and "lyrical abstraction" the term he uses to describe his current work. For him, his work is poetry, music and the flowering of color. Moved by an affinity with color and form, Zavaleta tries to convey emotion through the perfect harmony of the two. Zavaleta paints because he wants to "live with honor and dignity," and his temperament is a determining factor in the ability to reach his goals. He believes strongly in his art, which is richly expressive. As a self-taught artist, his achievements are a direct result of his creative instincts. Zavaleta feels immense pride in having transmitted his artistic vocation to his son. Now, not only blood joins father and son but their passion towards painting, even though their styles are different. They both share the same artistic spirit that guides
