Edgardo Kerlegand (Mexico)
Artist Bio
Edgardo Kerlegand was born in 1964 in the Southern state of Chiapas. From an early age he showed interest in painting and specifically the human figure. From 1985 to 1995 he studied at the National School of Plastic Arts (FAC UNAM) where he spent his time with teachers and fellow classmates discussing composition and symbolism in figure images. His early influences were Impressionism, Expressionism, and Mexican Muralism. However, in 2001 while sequestered with a group of Hagiographer monks in Athos Greece for a year, he found his path to freedom through the practice of both contemplation and active meditation. Now his artworks are as much about self-expression, contemplation, and reflection as they are about the image of the subject. Over the years his artworks have been exhibited around the world including: Argentina, Bosnia, Colombia, Croatia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Spain, United States, Yugoslavia, and of course throughout Mexico. Since 2006 Edgardo has been actively drawing, painting, and teaching in San Miguel de Allende.
