Leona Rose, a rising star in contemporary painting, was born under the generous skies of southern France. There, she draws the essence of her creative spirit from the depiction of the sun, a central element in her universe. Her art is a carnival of colors that dance across walls and canvases, unfolding vibrant frescoes that captivate the eye. Her talents extend beyond painting to include interior decoration and the creation of illustrations for renowned brands. Her work materializes on a variety of mediums, from furniture to art objects. Tropical atmospheres and dreamy reveries shape the core of her inspirations, while her style, both raw and spontaneous, reflects a deep intuition that has guided her hand since her first strokes.

As a self-taught artist, Leona Rose has carved her path in the art world, skillfully mastering techniques in acrylic, Posca, and Rotring. Her wanderlust spirit, a constant quest for discovery, is mirrored in her creations, a harmonious blend of influences drawn from Mexican and Berber primitive art, naïve painting, and the legacy of artistic giants such as Douanier Rousseau, Frida Kahlo, and Matisse.

On Instagram, she has gathered a loyal and engaged community of over 254,000 followers, a vibrant testament to the impact of her art. Her journey is marked by remarkable exhibitions, including the revealing (Hi)story! at Slow Galerie in 2018 and the solo show Popical Dream - Fragments at Galerie Joseph in 2021, each unveiling a facet of her richly woven universe, a world where each work is a gateway to a lucid dream.

LE CARTEL collaborates for the first time with Leona in 2024 as part of the collective textile exhibition "Paris est une fête" ("Paris is a Celebration").
