Javier León Pérez (b. 1977 in Seville, Spain) specialized in painting, ceramics, and bronze sculpture before completing his MFA at the Complutense University of Madrid. His artistic approach is inspired by Buddhist philosophy and Zen principles, which led him to contemplate the ephemeral nature of existence. He expresses his ideas through painting, sculpture, and installations, exploring the delicate balance between structure and fluidity, individuality and unity.  Another significant aspect of Pérez’s work is his use of ‘washi’, a Japanese paper with a translucent texture. Through folding and cutting this paper, Pérez creates precise arrangements, reminiscent of the intrinsic structures found in nature. 

Javier León Pérez is the recipient of numerous awards in Spain, and his work on Japanese paper was recognized in the Paper Biennial of Contemporary Art at the Museum Rijswijk, the Biennale of Contemporary Art Lalin, and the International Paper Art Biennial of Shanghai in 2021. Javier has held multiple exhibitions across Europe, with his first solo show in Hong Kong in 2015. He has participated in international art fairs, and his works have been acquired by important collections, including La Caixa Foundation, Galila`s POC Foundation, Boghossian Foundation, Fengxian Museum, and more.
